Finding Patience: God's Control in Life's Pressures
Are the horrible election campaign ads ever going to stop? Good grief…We live in a world that is going by so fast that finding patience is becoming a lost art. However, one of the best ways to be patient is to carry on with life, knowing God is in control...not you. I will say it one more time, “God is in control, not you.” “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,”Romans 5:3-4 I think we need to learn to love under pressure. To smile kindly when things around us are crumbling. After all, we’ve survived 100% of the things that has happened in our lives already, stands to reason we’ll probably make it through this too...Learn to endure, builds character. Be Nice, Grace Wins
