Scriptures: James 5:10-11 10For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy. (NLT)
Nugget: You’re going to go through things to get to where you want to be. There will be continuous challenges & obstacles along the way, but your perseverance & faith in God will get you there.
Just think of Job & all that he endured; however, his faith didn’t waiver in the midst of his challenges. Job stayed strong in faith & in what God had done for Him & what was to come. We need to adopt a Job-like attitude in the midst of our challenges.
Sometimes, all it takes is having faith—this faith can take you places you never imagined.
Quote: “Never think that God’s delays are God’s denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius.” -Georges-Louis Leclerc
