“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (James 1:4)
The bible says, “You have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.” (Hebrews 10:36) Most of us have heard the so called prayer, “Lord, give me patience and give it to me right now.”
Yesterday in our devotion we read that the trying of one’s faith works patience. The natural tendency is to try to run from trials and escape them. However, our text says that the resulting patience from our trials and tests will make us complete and lacking nothing.
Sometimes God sends the trial. Other times He allows the trial to come, as in the case of Job when the devil let loose his venomous attack on a righteous man. Job came through his trial a better man than when it all began. God uses trials to mature His people. He is not trying to destroy us; rather He is making us stronger.
