Day 4: Patience in God's Timing
Patience is a virtue that often feels in short supply in our fast-paced world. Yet, as James reminds us, patience is crucial in our spiritual walk. We're called to be patient not only with others but also in waiting for God's timing.
Consider areas in your life where you're struggling with impatience. How might trusting in God's perfect timing change your perspective? Take time to pray for patience, both in your daily interactions and in your long-term waiting on the Lord.
Reflection Questions:
- What areas of your life do you find difficult to be patient in, and why?
- How does recalling God's faithfulness in the past help with being patient in the present?
Application:
Whenever you feel impatience rising today, take a moment to pray. Write down or verbally acknowledge three ways God has provided for you in the past despite difficult waits. Let these reminders encourage your heart to trust His timing.
