Day 24: Patience

June 4 . Bible reading from 2 Timothy 4:1-5 Patience

Character: "I endure patiently the unavoidable pressures of life."

________

Text:

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living
and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give
you this charge:
Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and
encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when
people will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to
say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and
turn aside to myths.
But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist,
discharge all the duties of your ministry.

Take a Minute:

For Timothy, it was as he taught others God’s Word he learnt
patience.
Where in your life is patience hardest to cultivate?
