But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. (HCSB)
Action PointGod desires to build patience in us. He wants us to be "mature and complete." As this verse indicates, we are neither mature or complete if we are impatient.
This patience is two-fold. He wants us to be patient with Him while praying, reading His Word, and allowing Him to guide and mold our lives. Secondly, He wants us to be patient with each other-- with our spouse, our children, our boss, and even that misguided seventeen-year-old NASCAR driver on his way to work at the local burger barn who just cut you off in traffic.
Remember, He is in the seat next to you, pleased with your patience and smiling at you.
