Good morning today is the 10th day of the Daniel Fast and our focus is LONGSUFFERING
Many of us don’t mind helping other people out. We figure at some point in life we all need a helping hand. Some of us have had to help the same person on more than one occasion and we have become frustrated in doing so. It’s one thing to help someone out, it’s a total different thing to keep helping the same person out with the same thing. This is where longsuffering comes in. We think once we help someone they should get it, they should know their behavior has to change and they should know we won’t always be here to pick up the slack. So we want to give up on them and call them a lost cause. But hold on. We did the exact same thing to God. We repeated the same behavior over and over again and he said I still love you, I’m still not going to give up on you because it’s not my will that none shall perish. So, before we give up on anyone remember God didn’t give up on us.
Psalms 86:15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
