“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials. Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” James‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬, NKJV.

Count it all joy when God is working on your income before your outcome takes place.

God will never prioritize an outcome over you.

Patience’s perfect work is to perfect you.

Complete you.

Patience will wait on you. It has nothing but time.

It’s like receiving wealth from God, but also having the discipline and character to properly steward it.

Without receiving what patience does in us, we are guaranteed to repeat the trial.

Your way could be missing something. Your way is missing perfecting you.

And that could be why you’re still where you are.

Patience will tell you to slow down and seek God.

Take on humility and seek God.

Admit you don’t know everything and become meek.

Teachable.

With a closed mouth, read His unfailing word
with the intent to do what He speaks.

It’s time.

Let go of your way.

Slow down, and do it God’s way. Resolve it His way. See it His way. Apologize His way. Respond His way.

That’s what patience is waiting for, so you will lack nothing.

Prayer: Father, thank You for being patient with us. Thank You that we can count it all joy when we experience trials. You are good, and I choose to let patience work on me so I will lack nothing. Help me to concede, surrender my way. I slow down, let go of my way, and with through patience, do it Your way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
