Patience in Trials

The following TFL devotional helps us deal with trials and patience in our faith.

LEAD ME IN YOUR TRUTH AND TEACH ME, FOR YOU ARE THE GOD OF MY SALVATION; FOR YOU I WAIT ALL THE DAY LONG.

There's a line that caught my heart and humbled me:

We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.

If we think this through it should be incredibly convicting to us when we are impatient with waiting on the Lord to deliver us from our trials.

I told my wife that the Lord waited patiently for me for 22 years, and even still waits as I'm growing in Him. But she said the Lord didn't wait that long for her. I guess the Lord was impatient with her. (*grin*)
