Monday
Galatians 5:23
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Long suffering is patience and this is one of the
virtues of the Holy Spirit. When it says"the fruit of the Spirit is"
it is telling us that there is only one fruit so you can't pick and choose
which fruit is going to show from you today or tomorrow, it is all on fruit.
So, from this we can see that we have been given patience and God knows this.
Now we need to build it as we exercise to build our muscles so God uses the
trying of our faith to build our patience.
Since God has already given us patience what happens
when we pray for patience? What happens is God sends trials ourway to build
our patience.This is why that every time you pray for patience you get trials.Instead
of asking for patience God tells us through Peter what to do when trails come
our way.
Tuesday
1 PETER 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for
you.
Give ALL your trials to Him and He will tgake care
of them for you. Rest in Him, that is what He wants yhou to do with your cares
or trials. Our Heavenly Father loves us and wants to take care of our trials
and tribulations for us. He reassured me that He is still able to drop things
out of the sky if need be. He did it for the Isrealites when they were wandering
in the wilderness, their mannha and meat, and knowing that hedid it for them
is telling us that He is still able to do it for us.
Wednesday
James 1:15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
*Thursday
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the
LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
This doesn't say, they that wait for the
Lord, it says they that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their
strength. Those that accept the calling and go about their lives doing what
God has commanded us to do. Jesus said it in John 5:10. Go back and read it.
If you love as He has commanded you will want to wait upon the Lord. Preaching,
teaching, speaking out for the Lord will save someone's life but if you keep
still and do nothing it will do nothing for them.
Friday
Mark 5: 25-34
25And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood
twelve years,26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and h ad spent
all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,27When she
had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.28For
she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.29And straightway
the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she
was healed of that plague.30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that
virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who
Touched my clothes?31And his disciples said unto
him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched
me?32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.33but the
woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down
before him, and told him all the truth.34And he said unto her, Daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
Jesus was and still is in the healing business. Actually
it is the blessing business and His business is prospering. He still is blessing
people if they will only reach out and touch His garment. You can do this
trough prayer but most likely through His Word, the Bible. John 1:1-4 tells
us that Jesus is the Word so why wonder how to touch His garment? It is rather
simple, pick up your Bible and read and study it. It is a prescription from
the best Dr. that you can find.
Saturday
James 1:3
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience.
The trying of your faith builds your patience. You
were given patience when the Holy Spirit came to reside inside of you and
I. Patience is one of the virtues of the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
