Dear Young Christian: It is an understatement to say that “patience” is not one of my virtues. I always want things to happen now … instantly … immediately … without delay … without a hitch … . So it takes lots of prayer and casting myself on the Lord to see me through the day, especially days like today when things are not moving as quickly as I would like, and my plans to get things done are frustrated through circumstances I didn’t count on. I have to keep stopping and reminding myself that the Lord has a perfect timetable, and that there are really no surprises or delays with Him. The Spirit of the age we live in is, hurry, hurry, hurry. But let’s not be so hurried this week that we don’t have time to stop and “Consider Him” (Hebrews 12:3). Here are two verses that have been a help to me already today: “For ye have need of patience” (Hebrews 10:36). “Let patience have her perfect work” (James 1:4). Your Christian Friend, Jim Hyland We would love to hear from you. Send your comments or questions to jhyland@primus.ca |
