Patient
I express true spiritual patience.
The phrase “the patience of Job” is often used when describing someone who is accepting, tolerant, and serene in difficult circumstances. The Old Testament story, however, is about someone who at first railed against God and complained, but later learned a better way through his experiences.
The experiences of my life can teach me patience too. A difficult day at the office or troublesome family members may tempt me to complain. By devoting time each day to prayer and meditation, however, I learn true spiritual patience.
With patience that is founded on spiritual understanding, I know when to speak and when to be silent, when to act and when to allow others to act. I express true spiritual patience.
“What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?”—Job 6:11
