Patience and God's Clock

In accordance to (1 Peter 5:6, NIV), "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." 

We humans beings are, by nature, impatient.  We know what we want, and we know exactly when we want it - RIGHT NOW!  But, God knows better.  He has created a world that unfolds according to His own timetable, not ours.

As indicated in (2 Peter 1:6, NLT), "Knowing God leads to self-control.  Self-Control leads to patient endurance, and patient endurance leads to godliness."  I can relate to this, still unemployed now for nearly 16 months...we are to be patient.  God is using our today's difficulties to  strengthen you for tomorrow.  The God that makes things grow will help you bear fruit.

Are bearing fruit?  Are you standing firm?  Are you trusting in our Lord?  Are you keeping the faith?... 

Do not hang on...but stand firm...Ephesians 6:10-18.
