In the Word: Patience
“Like all the fruit of the Spirit, patience is a gift given to us by God. As we are God’s children, grafted into the Vine, we can’t help but bear fruit; it is a blessed symptom of having the Spirit live within us. And so, it goes without saying, that we turn to God and His Word to learn what true patience is.” —Lisa M. Clark, The Fruitful Life: Patience
As you spend time in God’s Word this month, may you discover the true source of patience in your life and solely rely on and trust in God’s timing for all things.
