Patient Endurance
This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. (Revelation 14:12)
In other words, don't give up, walk on, and trust God and His timing. All of “God's saints need to be patiently enduring.” As believers, we are called to trust God, even when we don't understand it. Do you see God doing things that you don’t understand? Does it bother you when you can’t comprehend His actions? Literally, the Scripture tells us that we need to be patiently enduring.
The Greek word for enduring is, “hupomone.” It literally describes moving on through, and trusting God and His timing. Even when it doesn't make sense, you are trying to figure out your bearings for the future. Scripture tells us that God's saints need to be patiently enduring.
I am sure you have gone through a great deal during these last few years. As you see family and friends suffering, you don't understand why God doesn't answer your prayers the way you desire. You are tired of waiting and waiting some more. It is very difficult, but God wants you to patiently endure.
I pray that you will trust Him today. Believe that He will come through for you and patiently endure whatever is in front of you. Be confident that the Lord has something good for you.

I waited patiently f
I waited patiently for an answer and He helped me at just the right time
I just recovered from a very long illness (6 months). My patience was tested and I mean really tested, but I recovered and God was faithful and I have dedicated my life to helping others with His guidance.
Thanks for this good reminder. SO much of life in Christ is patient endurance. Waiting and trusting isn't always easy but it's the way forward challenging as it may be. Let's run the race set before us, keeping our eyes on Him!
Thank You, Pastor Dodd, for reminding us to Always put our Trust in Our Lord, Jesus Christ !! He alone Will "Carry us Through" to Our Heavenly Home ... which is our "Hope in Glory!! -Amen-
I have been Saved by God's Grace and The Sacrifice of My Savior JESUS CHRIST ! GLORY TO GOD. f a I t h !
Thank you so much! I am "trying" to wait patiently for the Lord to answer my prayers! It is so difficult sometimes.
Yesterday the Lord was showing me where my unsaved adult children's thoughts are about my becoming a Christian year ago. I'm a man so I always want to do something rather than wait. Today over coffee with other believers they gave me the same words as thid devotional
I'm asking God for more patience as I go forward day by day
