God Gives You Unearthly Patience
Why does it seem that trouble always rears its head just when we start to make real progress? And why do so many difficulties linger for what seems an eternity?
Why are some people so annoying? And what recourse do we have when we can’t swap the irritating folks in our lives — family members, co-workers, neighbors — for a more congenial bunch?
When we’re in these kinds of situations, when we’re feeling stuck, restless and unable to change anything, we need the miracle of God’s patience.
The word the apostle Paul uses here — forbearance — is a word that means endurance, patience or perseverance. This is the quality of being long-suffering.
The next time circumstances put you in an unpleasant “holding pattern,” the next time an annoying person pushes your buttons, relinquish control of the situation and your own emotions and offer it to the One who has an endless supply of patience. The results really are miraculous.
God’s Promise to Me
*Those controlled by my Spirit can experience unearthly patience.
My Prayer to God
I want to know your patience, Lord. Forgive me for getting irritated with situations and people. I want to be even-keeled. I want to be willing to wait for you no matter how long it takes.
