Be Patient Until the Coming of the Lord ~ by Ronnie Archer

Patience is very important. For 2,000 years, people were waiting for the Lord to come. Impatience blinded them. Even John the Baptist was not sure if Jesus was THE ONE. He sent his disciples to Jesus to ask if HE was the one or not. Jesus sent them back with the message to John to be mindful of His signs of healing.

People had a different vision of WHO Jesus was. He was not the God who would come to judge and punish. He comes as a loving God of justice, peace and caring.

Our impatience will also blind us. We must wait and see what God's plan is. If we are too impatient, we might lose everything.

We need to enter unto joy, and ask God to bless us, so we WILL be able to recognize Him when He comes.
