JEREMIAH 31:28 (CEV)
In the past, I took care to uproot them, to tear them down, and to destroy them. But when that day comes, I will take care to plant them and help them grow.
JAMES 5:7 (MSG)
Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master’s Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work. Be patient like that.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Wait with patient certainty that God will come through according to his schedule.
PRAYER
Generous God, you provide all that we need. Yet, I grow impatient when you don't function in accordance with my timetable and expectations. Slow me down so that patience rooted in faith becomes second nature to me. I'm going to let your rain do its work. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
