Patience (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Patience                                                                                  Day 48

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.
James 5:7

Each of us experiences various seasons in our lives, more than just the four seasons of the calendar year. These seasons may sometimes last for years. We have seasons of joy and new blessings, periods of brokenness, times of recovery, etc. Throughout these experiences, our commitment and willingness to wait on the Lord may vary. We may even have seasons in how passionate we are for God, as we deal with the circumstances we are encountering.

During the seasons of our lives, we have the example of farmers to guide us. Farmers do not always see the desired amount of sun or rain come each day, but they still wait for their crops to grow. They patiently wait to reap the crops that they have faithfully sown throughout the season.

Let us learn to have patience through our seasons and circumstances. Let us have confidence in waiting on our crop, through the sun and rain of life. Let us not lose hope or lose our passion for Christ. Rather, let us wait patiently on Him, for one day we will reap and receive the crop of eternity. Let us not just trust God only for a season, but throughout our lives.
