Patience Day 51
2 My brethren,
count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
James
1:2-3
It is commonly stated at graduation ceremonies that the value
of an education is something that can never be taken away. One comedian noted,
that as a child, he believed this meant that even a thief could not break into
a house and steal a diploma. However, it is not the certificate that holds this
special value, but the doors that are opened because of the experience and
knowledge acquired to attain the degree.
Just as there are tests and trials in school, we too face
personal challenges in our lives. Like we did in school, we have the
opportunity to learn from our successes and our mistakes. We may also learn
that using patience helps us to successfully pass our present and future
trials. Throughout all of this, we have the bible as a text book that can guide
us.
We never know when we will encounter the next pop quiz in
life. So, we must be patient during our personal tests and have joy in knowing
that we will eventually graduate to a higher level. Let us patiently store up
the lessons learned from our trials as we prepare to face the journeys ahead.
