oooh patience!
May 11, 2007
- …you get all of the red lights en route to your destination?
-
…there would be an accident on the road?
-
…all (and I mean ALL) of the idiot drivers come out on the road?
So what do we do?
- …slam on the horn
-
…show the driver who cut you off the middle finger
- …curse!
What should we do?
- Ephesians 4:2- Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
-
Romans 12:12- Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction…
-
Psalms 37:8- Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret–it leads only to evil.
Finally…
2 Corinthians 6:4-6: In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.
(5) We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food.
(6) We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and by our sincere love.
From my heart, to yours,
