“The Patience of Job”

Key Verse

  “Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy (James 5:11).

Text — James 5:7-12

Message

Patience is one the virtues a true Christian must possess to be able to walk with God. Patience is not just the ability to wait, but the ability to maintain good behaviour while you are waiting. “Patience attracts happiness; it brings near that which is far,” Kate Phillips once asserted. Job exhibited an uncommon patience in his days – he lost his children, business and health, yet remained patient while waiting for God’s visitation. His wife and friends added more pains to his challenges, yet he remained resolute in his patience. The cheering news from the story of Job is that his patience made him to win the battle. Patience may produce bitterness now but in future the present bitterness will turn sweetness.

Many youths are not patient. They join bad gangs to look for quick and dubious money because they are not ready to go through the long journey to godly and peaceful wealth. Some seek occultic powers because they are sick and do not want to take time to wait on God who can heal them.  Be patient in all things!
