Message Notes:
“Developing Patience”
Patience is a learned behavior that develops over time and through life’s circumstances.
We are called to be patient…
- When Life is Uncontrollable.
7 Be patient, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. (James 5:7-8)
- When People are Unreasonable.
9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! (James 5:9)
- When Problems are Unexplainable.
11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. (James 5:11)
Application For Our Lives
- Wait Expectantly.
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. (Psalm 130:5)
- Wait Confidently.
"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him." (Psalm 37:7)
