“ . . . when you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience. Let your patience show itself perfectly in what you do. Then you will be perfect and complete and will have everything you need.” – James 1:2-4
EXPERIMENTPut this card somewhere you will see it each week.
REMEMBER:God had mercy on you so that Christ Jesus could use youas a prime example of His great patience. (1 Timothy 1:16)
THANK GOD:Thank You, Father God, for Your patience with me.Thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life.
1) Wherever you are today, be there. Don’t think about what is next or all that needs to be done. Be present.2) Slow down. Look for ways to be patient. For example, take 30-45 minutes for each meal, eating slowly.
3) “Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry.” (James 1:19) Anger is born out of judgement. Patience removes us from the seat of judgement and leaves it to God.
THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS PATIENCE.
