In James 5: 7-11, we will focus on how delayed gratification and self-control lead to a more patient lifestyle and overall healthy person. I define patience in this context as the "ability to ask for help when you realize you may not have all the answers." Also, I define spiritual patience as the "ability to ask God for help despite circumstances, to be confident in Christ in times of uncertainty, and comfortable in Christ despite any situation." This week let's think about how prophets and pastors lead with anticipation for the second coming of Jesus Christ and what that means for us.
