Be Patient

Patience is a fruit of the spirit. We continue in Faith trusting in the Lord.  In the last days many will turn away from God who once claimed to be his. Now is the time to trust in him more. Jesus paid for our sins. Repenting and making him Lord of your life gives you his power to continue.

James 5:7  Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. 

Jas 5:8  You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 

Jas 5:9  Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 

Jas 5:10  As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 

Jas 5:11  Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful. 

Jas 5:12  But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation. 

Good advice, to be truthful saying yes or no when you could use language that is evil when provoked. Give me a yes? Now keep going, stay close to the Lord who gives us patience and love.

How Great Thou Art
