Name Tags: You are… Patient
Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9 (ESV)
Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.
Habakkuk 2:3 (ESV)
If God is patient, if love is patient, if a fruit of His Spirit is patience, then how can Christians be so IMPATIENT!?!
Is it because our world says NOW, NOW, NOW… and makes things INSTANTLY available?
Have mouse clicks, key fobs, smartphones, and smart homes… shortened our attention span and spoiled us?
Since many of us haven’t practiced waiting, does waiting on God seem foreign to us?
Actors, models, and talent for Christ:
The Word of God is all about waiting. Patience, persistence, and perseverance… are UTTERLY ESSENTIAL in your rise!
As you walk the narrow path He assigns, the ONLY WAY to win through Him is to...
Wait on God. IN HIS TIMING, you will win. In hindsight, you’ll see it was the RIGHT time.
3 Key Reminders:
Design your “waits” to be productive waits, by continuing to grow your talents.
Learn the crucial sidestep of self-control, by refusing impulsive temptations.
Resolve in your head and heart NOT TO QUIT, since quitters can’t win and winners don’t quit.
Defer to your Father’s master timing– because the glorious production of your life is brilliantly complex.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
