Be Patient

11/23/2010

Good Morning,
 
The fields are about empty now, and so are the gardens. Last spring, with hope, the farmers planted their fields, as did the gardeners. Dirt was turned over, seeds sown and young plants set. Then with water, fertilizer, care and good weather, a day comes when the corn is harvested or the tomato picked from the vine. Between planting and harvesting is watering, cultivating, fertilizing, protecting and patience. 

In a world that wants instant gratification, the farmer and gardener go against the flow. In a word, they show good patience, in a world that usually goes for fast food. But we see that James is speaking of a particular kind of patience, the one that gets us through the long summers of our life. It is a patience that is based on a certain hope-that one day Jesus will come again.
 
"Be patient therefoe, brethern, unto the coming of the Lord.  Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.  Be ye also patient: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh."  James 5:7-8
 
May the Lord bless you today, and remember that you are loved!!!
 
Henry
