Oct 16 - Put Patience to Work
"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of
reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise."
(Hebrews 10:35-36)

Dear Addison,
Most of us have a distorted idea about patience. We think of it as
something designed to help us suffer failure gracefully, but according to these
scriptures,
it will actually put us on the path to success!
Patience (or being consistently constant) is the power twin of faith. They
work together to see to it that the promises of God are fulfilled in your life.
Say, for example, you need a job. You can go to the Word and see clearly
that God promises to provide your needs. You can see He takes pleasure in the
prosperity of His servants. Once you see that, faith takes hold and you
shout, "Hallelujah, I've got the job I need."
But what happens to that faith tomorrow morning when you go to three
interviews and get turned down all three times? Then what? That's when patience
has
to take over! That's when you have to make a decision to stay constant, to
act as if nothing's changed.
The truth is, if you based your confidence on the Word of God, nothing has
changed. It says exactly the same thing it said yesterday.
So, if you'll put patience to work, you know what you're going to say after
those three unsuccessful job interviews? You're going to say, "Hallelujah,
I've got the job I need!" just like you did before.
You see, faith opens the door to God's promise for you; and patience keeps
it open until that promise is fulfilled.
Do you have your faith sights set on a promise of God today, a promise
you've been waiting on for some time? Don't let the delay discourage you. Put
patience
to work. The Word guarantees you will receive your reward.
