MOW – TRUE SPIRITUALITY
Word for Today:
PATIENCE is a divine attribute
Beloved,
Today, we turn our hearts and minds to the grace-filled virtue of patience.
Patience is not merely the ability to wait; it is the power to wait well, with faith, trust, and unwavering hope in God. Scripture teaches us that patience flows from the very nature of God, for He is longsuffering, merciful, and faithful in all His ways.
The Bible declares, “The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy” (Psalm 145:8, KJV). When we walk in patience, we reflect God’s character and demonstrate spiritual maturity. Patience anchors us during trials and prevents us from making hurried decisions that can derail God’s purpose for our lives.
James exhorts us, “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing” (James 1:4, KJV). This reveals that patience is a process tool God uses to perfect His people. Every delay, every season of waiting, and every unanswered prayer is an opportunity for God to build endurance and deepen our trust in Him.
The Apostle Paul reminds us, “Tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope” (Romans 5:3–4, KJV). Patience transforms pressure into purpose and pain into preparation. Through patience, our faith is refined, and our hope is strengthened.
We are also instructed, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart” (Psalm 27:14, KJV). Waiting is not weakness; it is worship. Those who wait on the Lord are never wasted.
Finally, let us remember the words of Jesus: “In your patience possess ye your souls” (Luke 21:19, KJV). In a hurried world, patience preserves our peace, guards our spirit, and keeps us aligned with heaven’s timing.
May the Holy Spirit empower us to walk in patience, knowing that God is never late, but always right on time.
Thank You, Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).
Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:11).
