4 Days of Thanksgiving - Patience - Bijou Planks 329/365

            Knowing God's love, peace and joy should give the Christian patience.

"Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, 3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:1-3

Just as anxiety is not trusting God to take care of you, impatience is an attitude that says you are displeased with how God has arranged the circumstances. It is offensive to God.  

So, while others lose their cool, our hearts and minds as Christians are set in humility and happy wonder at God's incredible kindness to us.  In the traffic jam, the Christian does not need to focus on self and become angry because self is being inconvenienced, but rather able to focus on God's blessings.  I'm in a traffic jam because He has blessed me with a car!  He has given me health to drive!  

Also we do not represent self, but Christ Jesus.  We are able to show tolerance in love, not returning anger for anger at the others around us, but instead showing them what Christ has done for us.

"To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing." 1 Peter 3:8-9

Impatience demonstrates our own natural weakness, but patience demonstrates the power of God in us.  We are no longer in bondage to natural responses but now able to reflect the graces of Christ Jesus.  We can remember that God has been very patient with us.

"Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life." 1 Timothy 1:16

This Thanksgiving, we can thank God for His gift of patience!

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23
