"You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near" (James 5:8).
To strengthen your heart is to stabalize it. It is to fall back upon what you know to be undeniably true. What promises has God made to you? Remember them...rehearse them...trust them. Difficult times will always come. Use them as an opportunity to strengthen your heart.
We should also remind ourselves today that patience is a fruit of the Spirit--a gift from God (Gal. 5:22-23). Jesus promises that our Father will give the Holy Spirit to us if we will only ask.
Today, invite God's Holy Spirit to fill you--to saturate you through and through. Find a promise from God and stand on it.
