Love Of God & Patience

2 Thessalonians 3:5 "And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ."

If you were to ask any Christian, do you want more love of God and patience in waiting for Christ? Their answer would most undoubtedly be 'yes'. In this verse, we learn that getting to 'more' is part of the Lord's work of sanctification in our lives.

The word "direct" has the idea of making straight the way, or removing hindrances that would obstruct your course. What kind of hindrances does God need to remove in order for you to grow in your love for Him? What is holding you back from patience?

Prayers in the Bible are everywhere if we will just look. These are prayers that we would do well to pray for ourselves and for others.
