The Patience of Job
When we think of the story of Job, we may not think of him as being “patient.” After all, he spent much of the story complaining about his situation and insisting he was being treated unfairly. But patience does not require us to remain silent about our situation. Rather, patience requires us to endure and persevere, to stick it out until the end. It’s okay to acknowledge that our situation feels unfair, but we must not give up. We must press on. In the end, like Job, our reward will be more than worth it. (Scripture: James 5:7-11)
