God says you are: Patient

Psalm 130:5  “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I put my hope.”  Eight years ago today I started writing this Devotional.  Eight years ago today I took a giant leap of faith and said yes to something God had been pressuring me to do for at least a year prior.  What I thought may last maybe 6 months is now eight years old.  What I figured could become fifty devotionals are now over 2,700.  Has it been easy?  Have I wondered many times if it’s worth it?  The answer to both is yes.  But the greatest lesson I’ve learned these eight years is waiting patiently for the Lord.  Of learning to suffer well with hopeful expectation in faith and duty…which is entirely a learned quality of my mind…a gained understanding to bear up under things with a tranquil mind.  And so I would encourage you today…waiting patiently for the Lord involves strength and courage…it develops your faith and perseverance as you wait on the Lord…for patience is a cultivated fruit of the Spirit.
