For your safety each day, And remember, I'll always be here. By the bed or the chair Seeking peace for the one he holds dear Patience may bring to mind an aging individual, racked with pain, waiting for the Lord to call them home. Perhaps we see someone who has battled a crippling disease for many years. And though pain holds continual sway She takes God at His Word And rests fully assured That His presence will sustain her each day Each of these thoughts depict patience. However, we need not go to these extremes for the fruit of patience to bring forth its benefit in our lives.
Patience is to be as much a moment by moment out pouring in our lives as any other fruit.
The hurried life style we see today is based on ignorance of outcome and desire to be in control. Patience is the end result of a wisdom that realizes all things work together for good to them who are the called. Patience understands that God knows the beginning from the end and places the control of a situation in His hands. Patience results in following and resting on His guidance. Go ye therefore and do likewise.
