Patience (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Patience                                                                                  Day 52

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:1

Hebrews 11 covers centuries of momentous occasions in just one chapter. This chapter is well-known for its recounting of how faith played a role in the lives of many different individuals who encountered various circumstances. We may be tempted to believe that God performed those types of acts then, but not anymore. It may seem that miracles no longer occur in our modern times. Instead, we should recognize that the Almighty God of the past is the same God of the present. God still works miracles every day.

Today, when we face our challenges, we can either give up or patiently endure until God acts. Distractions and disbelief may momentarily hold us back. We choose, however, whether to give up or to push them aside and move forward. Temptations and personal weaknesses will cling to us, yet if we hold onto God, we may stay free from their grasp.

When in need of a miracle, let us endure and know that our powerful God will not give us more than we can bear with Him. No matter the race before us, God is with us. Since He is with us, let us patiently wait and allow Him to act and perform miracles in our lives.
