Wednesday’s Devotion: Patience and Perseverance Pay Off


Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

I walked 6 miles yesterday – 3 ½ in the morning and the rest in the evening.  If I had tried to walk it all at once, I might have given up. I get bored after an hour or so of walking around town even though I vary my routes.  The last time I walked 6 miles at once we were in the mountains.  The only way to get back to the car was to keep walking.  Whatever we may need to accomplish, sometimes it’s better to take a slow and steady approach.  Sometimes it’s better to be deliberate and patient than impatient and hasty.  We get anxious over situations and want our goals met quickly, but things take time.  If the situation calls for it, ask God for help and trust God to help you get through whatever it is. Celebrate small accomplishments. Many small accomplishments will eventually lead you to your desired goal.

Loving God, help us to be patient and remain steady, trusting in You in all situations.  We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Keep the Faith,

Paige
