05/10/13 DDD The Character of Jesus Part 4--Patience

Today in David's Daily Devotional, David Aldous continues looking at the character...the characteristics of Jesus. We look at James 1:2-3 and patience. 2 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. Paul tells us the same thing in his letter to the Romans...to be patient in trouble. When troubles come...we are to pray first...then be patient. Other scripture reference: Romans 12:12
