~ Let Patience Have Her Perfect Work ~

~ Let Patience Have Her Perfect Work ~

The words below are found in the Bible—in the first chapter of the book of James:

"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."

There are different definitions for the word patience as it is used here. It is often defined as endurance.

The trying of our faith—the challenging things we experience in this life—those things that might cause us to question God's love for us or even His very existence—as we stand our ground, trusting the God is good, we gain the strength to stand, to endure whateve life may throw at us.

We are also promised that as we wait upon the Lord we shall renew our strength. In the trials and tribulations, as we patiently wait for God to move or simply to uphold us in His mighty right hand, as we trust in Him we gain "the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset" which is the dictionary definition of patience. We are empowered to endure til the end. ♡
