Luke 21:19

“In your patience possess ye your souls.”

They say patience is a virtue. I have found this to be so very true today. Waiting in line to vote for well over 2 hours, made me realize the importance of this virtue. It would have been so easy to give up and walk away. Or easier still, to be so intimidated by the size of the line – to just avoid joining it altogether. But the promise of something better kept me there.

The same is true in regards to our walk with God. The promise of something better should encourage us to keep holding on. To join the good fight of faith. 

They say anything worth having is worth working for. This is a true saying. We have to determine how we value the things God has promised. If you value it enough then you must be willing to patiently wait for it. Don’t be intimidated by what you see, or too lazy to even fight for it. If you are willing to put in the work, your victory is assured.

Remember, to wait patiently also involves actively pursuing what God has promised. You wait, but pray. You wait, but prepare. You wait, but study, etc. So when God gives the command to possess your land you have all that you need. You are ready.

In patience possess ye your soul.
