Patience in God’s Timing – Haste Makes Waste | Day 5

Day 5: Patience in God’s Timing

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

James 5:8  (KJV)

Reflection: This verse reminds us of the importance of establishing our hearts in patience, as we await the Lord’s return. It highlights the virtuous circle of patience, endurance, and faith. This reinforces the lesson from the prodigal son’s story – his ultimate shift from haste to patience, and the resultant restoration and redemption.

Illustration: It’s like waiting for a beautiful butterfly to emerge from its chrysalis. The process takes time, but when we wait patiently, we witness the glorious transformation that occurs.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help us to establish our hearts in patience. May we always be mindful of Your perfect timing in all aspects of our lives. Give us the strength to wait upon You, trusting in Your promise and timing.
