James 1:4 ” Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” NKJ

From this verse, let’s look at patience from both our perspective & God’s. For most of us, patience is not an easily obtained virtue. Rather, we find ourselves careless – not from the matter of sin – but from the remnants of our old carnal nature. We lack self-control and give in too many times to impulsiveness, wandering thoughts, and self-independence. But this is where God’s patience steps in. For God will doggedly keep bringing us back to that same problem point…over and over again, until we finally learn the lesson…all because His purpose for our life is to produce a perfected & finished product, and nothing less.
