THIS man in our picture certainly has chosen a beautiful spot in which to fish, and what a splendid exercise of patience fishing is.
We all can afford to be more patient than we are. Many things happen to us, in our short life that call for patience.
There was no one so patient as the Lord Jesus, and there was no one more tried than He, but He never failed. How wonderful to see perfection in every way with Him. Wherever we may view Him, whether it is in lowliness, meekness, gentleness, love, obedience, grace, etc., He is the only perfect one in every respect.
We will find that we are unable of ourselves to be patient, although some are more patient than others, but if we have the Lord Jesus as our Saviour, we then can go to Him, and He will enable us to be gentle and patient in our circumstances, and toward each other.
