“Patience and Encouragement”
“Patience and Encouragement”
by Dona Hake
Romans 15:4-5. ERV
“Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. Those things were written so that we could have hope. That hope comes from the patience and encouragement that the Scriptures give us. All patience and encouragement come from God.”
“Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. Those things were written so that we could have hope. That hope comes from the patience and encouragement that the Scriptures give us. All patience and encouragement come from God.”
As believers we must always value and prioritize God’s Word and it’s place in our life. We have heard it said many times over as we go to church that it is important that we read God’s Word. God’s Word will bring light and life, and will help us to know exactly what to do in this life. God’s Word is our daily bread and it will sustain us, it will keep us, and we must make it a priority to feed upon it, and make it our Daily Bread.
As this Scripture says, the Word of God brings us patience and encouragement. From this patience and encouragement we embrace our hope. We can have hope that God will be with us every day. We can have hope that He truly is the answer. He never changes for He is the same yesterday today and forever. We can live this life with this blessed hope which empowers our hearts with courage to do the will of God. Praise Him today for He is the One from whom all blessings flow!
