Fruit of the Spirit: Patience


Listen Later

Patience is the foundational character trait of a believer, all others are built upon it.


Patience is quite possibly the most sought after character trait, especially if you are a mother. It is also one of the hardest to achieve with any sort of consistency. Often, you will find yourself patient in one avenue of your life while being wildly impatient in multiple others.

But it is also one of the most important fruits of the Spirit. Patience is the one that every other fruit can grow from. If you have patience, you have love. If you have patience, you have kindness. If you have patience, you have self- control. On and on and on.


How do we GET patience thought? Specifically when it comes to the big moments in our life? As we discussed in this weeks episode, we can find patience when we can put away our pride. That pesky pride that keeps us at arms length from YHWH. It disrupts all of our relationships. It complicates every function in our life, so why would it not also block us from patience?

So let's switch our perspective and stop desperately seeking patience before we have worked on building our humility. Humble yourself before the Father, operate from humility in every arena of your life, teach your children to be humble enough to know that they are not in control of their life- YHWH is. Let's rid ourselves of the pride that threatens to strangle us, so that we can be open and accepting of the patience that Yahweh wants to bless us with.

Pray for strength. Pray for Him to guide you. Pray for Him to refine you into exactly who He needs you to be.
