—Proverbs 2:6-11
by: Susan Bond.
One kind of patience that still seems in its embryonic stage in me, at times, is that which requires waiting for God's guidance when faced with making a decision. I've long been thankful for 1 Thessalonians 5:18 because it tells me at least one thing to do which lines up with God's will: "Give thanks."
Perhaps just being faithful in following that direction will remind me to take the time necessary to delve more deeply into his Word for more answers, for "from his mouth come knowledge and understanding" (Proverbs 2:6, NIV).
