Are You Letting Patience Have Her Perfect Work In Your Life or Are You Trying To Microwave The Promises Of God? In Other Words, Are You Trying To Get The Quick Result and Giving Up If It Is Taking To Long To See The God Result In Your Life?

Being patient is not the easiest thing to do.   We live in a world where everything is quick.   We want our food quick, so we go to fast food restaurants or we heat things up in a microwave.   We want to get to our destinations quick, so we fly instead of driving to enjoy the scenery.   Almost all of our actions and attitudes are centered around the time it takes to get something done.    Then we get upset with God because we feel He is not moving fast enough in our lives.   

The Bible says that it is through faith and patience that we will inherit the promises of God.    In the book of James it tells us that we are to let patience have her perfect work so that we will be entire, wanting nothing.    Yet we struggle with being patient.   When you are patient, you have the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.

Are you being patient when it comes to the promises of God?   Are you accepting the fact that your promise may be delayed while still standing and staying in faith or are you counseling out your faith with thoughts and words of doubt concerning God coming through for you?    

It's time to go against the odds.   It's time to trust God until the promise is made manifest.   It's time to stop speaking doubt when you experience delay.   It's time to let patience have her perfect work in your heart, mind, actions, and words.   

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 
James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Hebrews 6:12
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
