James 5:10 “Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.”
Lord, immediately Jeremiah comes to mind, but others also. Most knew before they ever spoke Your word to their countrymen that they would not listen. How hard that must have been and how patient they were. They suffered persecution and abuse from their own people. We are just now starting to experience persecution in our own country.
Lord, will be patient in suffering? I am afraid that I will not be for even now if I have a headache or am sick, I want the pain to go away instantly. Lord, I certainly will need Your grace and mercy in abundance when that time comes.
