I AM PATIENT - James 1:4
"So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing."
DEVOTIONAL
Patience isn’t just about waiting—it’s about trusting. It’s believing that God’s timing is perfect, even when we don’t see immediate results. In a world that promotes instant gratification, patience is a rare and powerful virtue.
Romans 8:25 tells us "But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."
God calls us to trust Him in the waiting. Whether you’re believing for breakthrough, healing, restoration, or a promise yet to be fulfilled, know this—God is working behind the scenes. Lamentations 3:25 reminds us, “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.” Your patience is not in vain.
Jesus Himself demonstrated perfect patience. He waited for the right time to begin His ministry, to perform miracles, and even to go to the cross for our salvation. If the Son of God embraced divine timing, how much more should we?
Waiting is not wasted when it’s done in faith. Keep believing, keep trusting, and let patience have its perfect work in you (James 1:4).
In due time, you will reap the harvest.
