BE PATIENT
James 1:4
But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Content to wait if necessary; not losing one's temper while waiting; not bothered with having to wait; not unwilling to wait.
This is the English definition of patient. The description is so clear, not loosing one's temper while waiting.
2 Peter 1:6 & 7
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
Peter emphasizes this too. The lack is why many believers are not fruitful, and some do not practice godliness. They are not patient enough to be led by God's Spirit.
2 Peter 1:8
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thus many cannot see what God's plan for them is, many have entered wrong paths, built wrong attitudes, relied on self, entered wrong bonds, some on digging out knowledge and have refused to be free because of pride.
Today the Lord says we should learn to be patient. This is not LAZINESS but the grace to wait for "Samuel before the sacrifice"
1 Samuel 13:13&14
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee.
Thank God for mercy and grace revealed to us in Christ Jesus. We are empowered to work in patience. Galatians 5:22.
We will not err. We will not be in haste.
Glory to God!
