Year 8-Day 72: Today, I am grateful we can be patient in affliction. Most of us try to avoid afflictions. We don't seek out and sign up for discomfort. In life, days of discomfort come and go, and it is easy to become discouraged.
The best plans can be interrupted by circumstances outside of our human control. We can fret or we can let it roll.
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer." -Romans 12:12
I've long appreciated the phrase "hope floats". It does. It rises above the trial. When we are faithful in prayer, it is easier to tolerate the discomfort that comes with affliction.
The scripture can be simplified into three simple instructions:
Be joyful.
Be patient.
Pray faithfully.
Times of trouble come and go, but He never leaves us alone. We are not forsaken.
Today, I am grateful we can be patient in affliction.
