The Foundation

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” — Galatians 5:22-23

Today we focus on Patience.

Patience in Scripture

  • James 5:7 - Be patient, therefore, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord.\n- Romans 12:12 - Be patient in affliction, be faithful in prayer.\n- Psalm 37:7-8 - Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.\n

Reflection

Patience is not something we can manufacture on our own. It comes from the Holy Spirit living within us.

🙏 Prayer

Lord, grow Patience in my life today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
