 Patience!!! This is likely the one thing a young person cannot understand anymore, likely because of all the technology we have today that give us everything instantly or because of all the coffee we young people drink - lol!  I will admit that I am a coffee drinker: 110% and proud of it! But seriously, if we as young Christians do not learn to be patient and wait we then can pass up the things that God  intended!

   We have to WAIT on the Lord daily, plus LISTEN for His will so that we may be able to SEE the path He has laid out for us! It says in Psalms 37:7-9, that we are not to complain about those who are successful and desire to be like them, but rather we should have patience in God because the wicked who lean on their own riches and success will fall; but those who PERSEVERE in God will inherit God's glory and true power!

   We have to SEE past all the vain things of this world for true patience will bring true happiness. In Isaiah 40:31, it clearly states that if we are patient in Him we will only be stronger in the Lord and be able to do His will through our lives.  If we do all of this; God WILL supply our needs according to His riches and Glory which come to us through the living Savior, Jesus Christ!

    You see, all this comes through being patient in the Lord Jesus! Now, part of my dare to you is to be patient in the Lord, even when your friends around you are moving faster in life than yourself.
Being patient as they maybe starting out with an awesome job, while you are still scratching for anything that brings in enough to pay the bills. Also, as your friends are engaged and even married and you're the one friend who is still single. Remember that God will make a way where there seems to be no way because He works in ways we all cannot see, just; trust me-He will make a way just be patient!

   So many things can come about when you are patient such as; true friendship, true love, growing closer with your family, and growing closer to the Body of Christ.  The Bible says in Romans 15:5, that when we persevere in Christ we (the church) will become of one mind and one heart in Him! Just think; Unity in the church, family and the life God has rewarded us with, all because of patience! That's a rare thing: unity! And it all can start with you being patient and listening to God's will! So will you listen and be patient?
  I Double Dare You!!

Living Everyday With God

Have you ever tried to live life every day by Gods Word? I mean really day by day, from decision to decision, every minute saying, "What would God do in this situation? How will it benefit my walk with him?" Most people might stop reading after I said all of that thinking, it would be too hard, but it’s amazing just how easy it can be!! By using God's advice and counsel with every decision we make our life will only turn out for the better! Solomon plainly says in Proverbs 3:6, “... and will direct thy path…” He didn’t say that He might, or He could, but “He will”!!! Don’t be afraid of letting God take control! I mean one of the most wisest men (Solomon himself) that ever lived said this and he completely trusted in God! Do you see where he came out?? As one of the most riches and most powerful rulers of that time! So try it out and see how amazing it can be, I dare you to try it!
