James 1:1-4 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials. Knowing that the testing of your faith produces PATIENCE. But let PATIENCE have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, LACKING NOTHING” PATIENCE is not only the act of waiting but also your ability to actively persevere in the midst of difficulties which produces endurance! In the midst of your waiting , can you remain steadfast and persistent in God’s promises?
