Romans 5:3-4 (TLB) “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us–they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady.” I want to talk to you about patience… Life is made up of periods of waiting… The skill of “waiting” is not learned in a day. Impatience hurts everyone… This year is a year to seek for and to practice “patience”… People will face many problems this year. Many will be filled with panic and fear. We cannot let the fears of events overtake us. Fear causes people to become selfish and causes them to turn inward… thinking only of self-preservation. Total commitment to Jesus simplifies patience. Life is complicated and patience makes it easier to live. The word “patience” means… endurance… steadfastness… long-suffering… continuance… the power to abide… the power to wait… perseverance… cheerfully and hopefully enduring…
