A Better Way
Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. (John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States)
Today’s fast-paced lifestyle makes it difficult to live with either of these qualities. It’s difficult to keep up with our schedules and responsibilities, so we often rush into projects too quickly without proper plans or preparation. Many of our mistakes and frustrations might be lessened if we learned how to practice these two character qualities.
Supplement your faith with a generous provision of . . . patient endurance (2 Peter 1:5-6).
You know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance (James 1:3).
