You Must Develop Patience
When you and I say to God, "Change me," we better know what we're saying
because we are not just going to wake up different the next morning.
Instead, what God is going to do is give us an opportunity, through
opposition, to grow as we change.
James 1 tells us how important it is to have patience when we're
changing and facing opposition. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that
only develops and grows under trial, and it's something we need.
Scripture tells us that when we have it, we're perfect and entire,
lacking nothing. However, there's just no way to get it without going
through something to receive it.
If we really want to be victorious Christians who serve God and make a
difference in the world, then we are going to have to go through some
challenging things. The devil will try to scare you off, but God can see
you through any challenge.
So today, choose to let God work through you, even in the face of
opposition. As your patience grows and develops, you will step into a
life of great victory.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I want You to change me, and I know that means
I'll have to go through challenges. Give me Your strength to endure and
be steadfast when I'm going through trials so I can have patience and be
fully developed in Christ.
