Jan.26th- Feb.1st Sunday-Saturday Daily Devotionals & Reflections

Patience in what God is doing is necessary. It's in the waiting that we can grow, stretch our faith and develop more into the person God has called us to be. Patience is needed in the challenging times, the exciting times and the moments where you don't even know how you got there. It all takes patience. The more we grow in God we should get better at being patient. For this shows our trust in our God. It shows that we take Him at his word. It shows people around us that we are not moved by what life may throw at us but by the directing of the Holy Spirit. Perfecting our patience is something we cannot do alone. God because of His son Jesus gave us the helper which is the Holy Spirit to develop patience in us when we are willing to surrender and embrace the true promises God gave us through His son and one of those promises is the fruit of patience.
