Patience in Afflictions
eva Official Writer
1521Job 5:11
Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Bible Reading for A Year:[bible]Psalm120[/bible];[bible]iCori9[/bible];[bible]iSamu5-7[/bible]
Sometimes Lord allows His servants whom love Him face sufferings and burdens. All of them do not come from Him, however He allows it happen. Today, we may contemplate these things from Job; how he remained faithful to God despite his hardship.
Loyalty is the form of our love to God. We are faithful because God is in control over the ups and downs that happen in our lives. Our part is to be patient and take courage.
A farmer woke up early, took a hoe, and sow the seeds in the sun. When he returned, has the results of sprinkles already been harvested? Not Yet! He took home his hoes by soiled and sweaty clothes. On the next day he did the same thing in the fields. Upon his return, does he get its harvest? Not Yet! Only soiled and sweaty clothes. So it went on until tomorrow, tomorrow, and the day after. Finally, he could have taken home its harvets. Likewise with loyalty - keep patient because God knows the limits of our abilities, so that His power will manifest in time.
PATIENCE IS NOT THE ABILITY TO WAIT, BUT THE ABILITY TO KEEP THE CONDUCT WHILE WAITING. (JOYCE MEYER)
