DAY 27 OF 63

Patience from Above 

Patience comes from God, he is the author of it.

As humans, patience is something we all need, not just to wait on God during the ‘waiting season’ but also to live in harmony with others.  

When we look at the root of many problems in marriages, friendships, work the underlying problem is an inability to live in harmony. A key pillar for this is patience. 

As humans, this is something that does not come naturally to us, but thankfully, our creator is abounding in patience, and when he fills us with His Spirit we will be able to live in harmony with one other. 

Jesus demonstrated this in so many ways; by dining with prostitutes, speaking to the Samaritans who the Israelites did not get along with, and right up to the cross where he said ‘Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.’

So, as it says perfectly in the Message version, “May our dependably steady and warmly personal God develop maturity in you so that you get along with each other as well as Jesus gets along with us all. Then we’ll be a choir- not our voices only, but our very lives singing in harmony in a stunning anthem to the God and Father of our Master Jesus!”

About this Plan

Fruit Bowl

Fruit Bowl is a 9-week deep dive into the Fruit of the Spirit put together by the Naujavan community. Jesus said, “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." Bearing the Fruit of the Spirit is the result of spending quality time with God, allowing Him to shape and form us.” We hope this devotional encourages you to do just that.
