Picked up a devotional book this morning...needing some focus in the midst of chaos...here's what it said:
Patience is more than waiting for an answer or for the receipt of blessing.
Patience is deeper than struggling with the passage of time.
Patience is the practice of trusting even when we cannot see.
Patience forces us to focus on doing our part, while we wait for God to do His.
Patience pinpoints areas where we must grow in order to receive.
Patience evokes a spirit of humility because we recognize that we are not in charge.
Patience involves seeking the Source instead of the solution.
Patience is maturity revealed.
Patience is the art of waiting, expectantly, joyfully, and quietly, when you have no idea what you are waiting for.
Patience is the ability to stand perfectly still in the vortex of chaos, and be totally content to hang out until further notice simply because you have no intention or desire to move foreword without His instruction.
Now that, my friends, is no coincidence! That is my God...knowing my needs. Every word, every line is absolutely at the core of where I find myself today! I love it when He softens my spirit like that!!
