Advent Devotion, December 19, 2014
Reading:  James 5: 7-8
Written by:  Bill Nasworthy

This passage is calling on us to be patient because The Lord is coming. 

Patient…. To be patient one must be calm and quiet.  That means you get to view and listen to what is happening around you.  In that quiet, you can see what needs to be done for others as well as yourself.  That gives you the opportunity to act and do what needs to be done.

None of us knows when The Lord will appear, so do quiet, good deeds all your days and you will be doing The Lord’s work within your “patient waiting”. 

Prayer:  Lord, in this time of rushing and hurry, help us to seek the quiet and patient time.  Amen
