New Year. New You?

Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:1-3 NASB1995

Rejoice in Persecution?!

Sep1

As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance (steadfastness) of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
James 5:10-11 NASB1995

Matthew 5:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.10.NASB1995

But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,
1 Peter 3:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.3.14.NASB1995

A Heart of Patience

May21

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of patience
Colossians 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

The chosen of God, overflowing with the fruit of the Spirit, have another attribute of the Spirit, patience. By Jesus we are strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience with joy; so that we might demonstrate the perfect patience of Jesus Christ as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
Galatians 5:22/Colossians 1:11/1 Timothy 1:16 NASB1995

Life is hard, with many tribulations – adversity, grief, heartache, misfortune, etc. Do we endure with patience, trusting in God?

🌹For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.
