 Lenten Devotions

Thursday, March 23, 2023

3/23/2023

 
Read: Psalm 130:5-8
 
Patience is a virtue.  Good things come for those who wait.  Patience surpasses learning.
 
We’ve been informed about the significance of patience. In our lives there will be incidents and events that will challenge us. Some will frustrate us, some we can laugh about and some will have us wondering why.  But the circumstances will require us to be patient.
 
Patience is a gift from God particularly in a teaching moment.  Yahweh may desire our attention on something we had done, or building us up for the next step to his glory.  It is a gift for grace and mercy from our heavenly father which is a must for us as sinners.
 
The test of patience is inevitable and according to the word can help lead us to repentance.  Allow God to test our love for him by being patient and accept the teaching moment while not falling into frustration and despair.
 
Father, please allow us the patience to wait on you and the strength to endure the wait. Amen
 
Jeff Fox
