MORNING TEA DEVOTIONAL:
Heb 6:12 "That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises."
"For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of
God, ye might receive the promise." (Heb 10:36) The word that people
don't like to hear is PATIENCE. I want you to know this morning that
patience is part of the attributes of faith.
The Bible says "...he that
believeth shall not make haste." (Isaiah 28:16b). So, one of the proofs
of your faith is patience. When you see
yourself being anxious over any issue because of delay as it were, it
shows your lack of faith.
It is worth noting that many people are
waiting and are impatient. Waiting and patience are two different
things. Hence, the understanding of patience is necessary. Patience is
not only the ability to wait for something as some think but the ability
to put up the right attitude while waiting for it. David said "I waited
patiently on the LORD, and He inclined to me..." (Ps 40:1). Your
attitude while waiting is a product of your patience or impatience and
invariably determines when the answers will come. This was the case of
Abraham. The Bible tells us he did not stagger at the promise of God
through unbelief but he was strong in faith giving glory to God (Rom
4:20). Waiting without patience reveals your pride. A proud person finds
it difficult to be patient. He/she always complain at the slight of any
delay. Watch it lest you fall victim of this plague called impatience.
How to be patient while waiting shall be our focus tomorrow!
Don't miss it!!!
