James 1:4 KJV
But let patience have her perfect work, that he may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
We're worried about the wrong thing
We hear this scripture and immediately get happy of of the "perfect and entire, wanting nothing"
- proclaim it and run and shout everywhere
-miss the beginning completely
Patience is the process
- not just what you go through, but how you go through
- " Patience have her perfect WORK"
- WORK is the key word
We have no patience
Major changes (jobs, relationships/marriage, etc.)
- we know the outcome an should to the outcome
- hate the process
* impatient
* try to force things to happen
Trying to castor oil ourselves into premature labor
- (old school/old wives tale oral remedy to induce labor)
Seek the face of God
He's always speaking loudly and consistently
-INSTRUCTION - direction, order, or decree
- CONFIRMATION - verification, proof, testimony
- AFFIRMATION - declaration, proclamation, assertion
Instruction- let patience have her perfect work
Confirmation- that he may be perfect
Affirmation- perfect and entire, wanting nothing
He'll give you the what, why, how, when, where
We're getting tired and wearing ourselves thin simply because we aren't listening
- trying to do it on our own
*got news Tuesday, and trying to make things work so hard that by Friday, I was burnt out, on the verge of tears exhausted
Perfect and entire is strategic
- not haphazard or coincidence
Live ON PURPOSE
Move ON PURPOSE
Speak ON PURPOSE
In doing so, you'll get your perfect end
