Patient Endurance


Life is going at such a fast pace that we often fail to endure what comes our way. We want answers to our questions, and we want results asap. We want what we want when we want it, and usually we want what we want right now. So when God's timing doesn't match up to our fast pace, we often find ourselves impatient, tapping our toes, and scratching our heads waiting for answers and results. However if we are to endure, then we must have patience...a lot of it, too. To endure is to withstand. Not withstand as in "put up with." Rather withstand as in "tough it out."
No matter the situation, whether it be finding a job, awaiting test results, losing weight, trusting God.....we need to have patience in enduring. When we fail to endure we fail to trust God. When we fail to trust God, then we fail to glorify Him. So take the time to put your complete trust in the Lord...place everything that hinders you from glorifying God in His hands and in His timing. Then wait. Wait on the Lord, and you will find yourself glorifying Him through your patience. Patiently endure, and thereby glorify God!
