Perseverance & Endurance - Holding Onto Hope in Times of ChallengeSample

Scripture is full of farming analogies. Jesus often used parables from agriculture to teach those around him. There is something about changing seasons and the passage of time that can teach us great lessons in patient endurance. We love the abundant harvest seasons, but the leaner seasons can sometimes be more of a challenge. This is where patience, endurance, and perseverance really bear fruit! (Pun intended!)

In today’s reading, James encourages believers to practice patience. What encouragement can you take from the passage to apply to your own life?
