Patience!? 2/17/16
Luke 21:19 (KJV)
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
"
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE, POSSESS IF YE CAN!
SELDOM FOUND IN WOMEN, NEVER FOUND IN MAN!"
Can I get an AMEN to that TRUE statement!!??
I WOKE UP (PTL FOR AWAKENING!/ I KNOW you get tired of me PRAISING THE LORD for AWAKENING but A Supreme Justice went to sleep last week and DID NOT wake up!)
I WOKE UP this morning SICK-I NEVER get sick!!!!
I WOKE UP to a bad dream-having s shoot-out, IN MY DREAMS, with several people and dodging gun fire!
I WOKE UP to endless, ominous, TERRIBLE "news" posted on every news link on the internet!
I WOKE UP to with NO rest in spite of the fact that Amanda had SLEPT the entire night-I got 8 HOURS of UN-interrupted sleep!:
2 Corinthians 7:5 (KJV)
5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
I WOKE up "troubled on EVERY side; without were fightings, within were FEARS!!!"
In fact, I was so worried about Amanda that I just left feeling her head to make sure she was alive and now she is UP!!!
MY BAD!!
My friend Job penned these sad Words:
Job 14:1-2 (KJV)
1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
BUT I also REMEMBERED these Words:
Hebrews 10:35-39 (KJV)
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
ESPECIALLY this Verse:
Hebrews 10:36 (KJV)
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
PATIENCE-from
<G5278>
(hupomeno); cheerful (or hopeful)
endurance, constancy
:- enduring, patience, patient continuance (waiting).
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
PATIENT CONTINUANCE (WAITING)!
I HATE waiting!!!
GIVE ME PATIENCE AND GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!
A quote from my SECOND favorite book, "THE DISCIPLINES OF LIFE"
''The theater of this drama is ourselves; the mind may forge a circumstance into a shackle, or it may lift us into the sphere where events are plastic.
It is HERE, under the constant bombardment of trouble, angst, disturbing headlines, sickness, financial distress, strife and struggle-
It is HERE/NOW we MUST turn to and HEED the WORD OF GOD!!!!
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
WE "MUST believe that He is, AND that HE is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
When all else fails, when all around YOU is crumbling, crushed to the floor-
WE "MUST believe that He is, AND that HE is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
If this is You today, READ AND HEED:
PSALM 91!!!
READ AND HEED Hebrews 10:35-39 and then read the "CHRISTIAN HALL OF FAME" Chapter-Hebrews Chapter 11!
And REMEMBER, there are NO separations/Chapters in the original Greek and Hebrew-NO pause/separation between Chapters 10 and 11 of Hebrews!!
Just ONE continuous thought!!
READ AND HEED Deuteronomy 28:1-14!!!
Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
BE BLESSED TODAY O WARRIOR OF AND FOR GOD!!!
GOD BLESS YOU TODAY!!!!!!
