Patient
Read Romans 8.22-25
“.. if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently ..’” (Rom.8.25)

What does Paul mean by ‘our adoption to sonship’ and ‘the redemption of our bodies’ (v.23)?
Our culture isn’t conducive to patience! How can you best cultivate this grace of patience as you wait for the promise of God?
Prayer: When I walk through dark valleys, Lord, help me to fear no evil but to rejoice rather in the assurance that You are with me and that joy will come with the morning.
