BIBLE MEDITATION: "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." James 1:4
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Patience worketh perfection. When was the last time you asked God to make you perfect? Maybe you should have asked for patience, as well, because it is only through patient, abiding faith and trust in the Lord that we become perfect. A lot of people confuse this word "perfect" with "sinlessness." The Greek word for perfect in James 1:4 is teleios and it refers to maturing growth. For example, an oak tree is the teleios of an acorn. It is the perfection of an acorn. So when you're feeling discouraged and feeling a little blue take a look at a mighty oak and see what a nut can do. ACTION POINT: Take a walk this week enjoying the fall color and ask God to give you the patience and faith that can turn a little acorn into a mighty oak. O.
