Patience is power. Living in a drive-thru restaurant, overnight mail express, fax me, email me, 5 miniute rice, overnight one hit musical mega stars, quick printing, 20 minute photo development and mircrowave age, we so often get anxious and give up. Patience calls for endurance.

I read recently that Noah Webster spent 36 years preparing the first dictionary that now has his name. Webster defines patience has demonstrating uncomplaining endurance under distress.

Prayer requires patience. Relationships require patience. Physical healing
requires patience. Savings require patience. Graduation from schoo/college
requires patience. Children require patience. Dieting requires patience. Job seeking requires patience. Business building requires patience. If you find yourself impatient , you are losing your power and possibilities for success.

Developing patience allows you to overcome instant gratification, debt, anger, temper tantrums, traffic accidents, missed blessings and poor choices in all areas of your life.

Don't give up on the thing that God has promised you.

As your patience grows...your personal power grows!

" ...and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1
Hebrews 12 Hebrews 12:1-2

Hebrews 10:36 Hebrews 10 Hebrews 10:35-37 For ye have need of patience, that,
after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
