“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (James 1:3-4)
A lack of patience is a lack of faith.
I struggle with patience. I have a hard time waiting for something. If I can do something about it now, I will do it. I don’t want to wait!
I also have a hard time putting faith in God. I’m not talking about salvation, I know without a doubt I’m saved, I know I’m a child of God! What’s crazy is that I have faith in God for salvation, but I struggle in having faith for God to take care of my daily problems.
Last year, I could have used more faith. I could have used more patience. I definitely could use both. This year, I want to be more patient and let God work in my life….but I will have to exercise my faith. I will have to let God work and stop taking life into my own hands.
I need more faith.
I need more patience.
When you practice both, you build both.
