Romans 15:4 ” For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”

If there’s anything that would prompt you to be reading your Bible everyday, it would be this verse. The Holy Bible is God-breathed and inspired…His love letter to you. By reading His Word you’ll find comfort, encouragement, and exhortation… You’ll also find practical application for life concerns. But you must first open the book.

Hebrews 10: 36 ” You need to perservere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a patient person…I’m a mover, so if I have to stop to wait for something, I get anxious. My mind goes into warp-drive, thinking of all the things I could be doing, besides just waiting. But it’s usually then that the Lord will cause me to take the focus off myself and onto something or someone around me. What would be the good pleasure of God at this moment? Thanking Him for the beauty surrounding me…speaking encouragement into the person nearby…praying for my family…all are things that change my attitude from that of impatience to calm endurance. As James said, “Blessed are they that persevere.”
