Patience

Impatience is a self-imposed curse. On one hand, it frustrates and forces us to fixate on the future at the expense of the present. On the other hand, it causes us to crave and eventually cave into instant gratification, leading to hasty decisions that do more harm than good. This plan will discuss the importance of patience to help us wait on the Lord and be content with His timing.

The Importance of Exercising Patience

Feelings of discontentment are no strangers in today's society. With instant access to millions of people and the ease with which it is possible to compare ourselves, we often become upset in an instant-gratification-driven society. This devotional helps us combat feelings of discontentment and recenter our focus back to Jesus. 

Dealing With Discontentment

Trust is God’s love language. Nothing brings Him more joy than when we put our hope fully in Him. In this week’s devotional, Joanna Weaver helps us see how our view of God changes how we navigate our fears and hopes in this uncertain world. Breathe deep and immerse yourself in God’s unchanging Word as we explore what it means to trust God no matter what comes our way.

We hope that this reading plan will inspire you to go on a journey in cultivating the fruit of patience in your life. In the past few years we have found that even though circumstances are not always pleasant, God will use them to mold our character. What He desires is for us to approach these trials with a Godly sense of patience. 

This reading plan includes five daily devotions based on Rosie Rivera’s book God Is Your Defender: Learning to Stand After Life Has Knocked You Down. This study will explore how to lean on God as your Defender in the midst of life’s hurts and wounds and as you grapple with desires for justice and revenge.

How can painful times of waiting become sweet times with God? Whatever you are waiting for—a spouse, a child, a job—this season can be a time of beauty. Are you ready to find peace in the pauses and hope in the future?

It will keep you standing and believing the Word of God until the full manifestation comes. Spend the next seven days learning how you can begin walking in patience, a fruit of the spirit.
