Summary
Happy Monday Meditations! The attribute of God that we’ll be meditating on today will be his Patience.
God is the purest definition of patient in the way He shows and gives us patience every single day. Now that I’m a mom I have seen and experienced a whole new level of patience that I didn’t even know existed.
It can be so incredibly hard to have patience in a world that constantly has its foot on the gas. But we must remember. God is patient with us, so we must remain patient in Him and all circumstances and in steadfast prayer knowing that the trials will produce fruit if we remain in harmony with our Lord.
We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, happy Monday, it's E and welcome to another episode of Monday Meditations. |
| 0:05.0 | Today we're going to be meditating on God's patience. |
| 0:08.0 | God is the purest definition of patient in the way that he shows us and gives us patience every single day. |
| 0:15.0 | And now that I'm a mom, I have seen and experienced a whole new level of patients that I didn't even know existed. |
| 0:22.3 | Not so much in a sense of I'm losing my patience, but more from the standpoint of be patient |
| 0:28.9 | because this moment will end, or be patient because this moment is fleeting, or be so present in |
| 0:35.0 | the moment and be patient because your little one will only be like this for so long. |
| 0:39.8 | They will only be little for such a little amount of time. |
| 0:43.1 | And one day soon she will be cooing and one day soon she will be babbling, crawling and then walking and be patient because although the days and the nights seem long, the years are short. |
| 0:54.7 | And there's something to be said for being patient in the present moment and letting it be |
| 0:58.7 | what it is. Not trying to always find ways to course correct or in some way fix it to how you |
| 1:04.8 | think it should be, but just letting God do what he does best. And that is his plan. |
| 1:10.3 | But as we grow up, our patience level is no doubt tested in other ways. As a saying goes, patience is a virtue, and that is absolutely the truth. All of us humans have a breaking point, unless you're a complete saint, but that's usually when you're totally maxed out at your patience level, and you're like, I'm two seconds away from losing my absolute mind. And in moments like that, you have to say to yourself, even if it's |
| 1:32.2 | out loud, even if you have to say your name, Erica, rule your spirit. Don't rush it, just |
| 1:38.3 | be patient. And it's so hard to do when we live in a microwave society where we expect |
| 1:43.1 | everything to be signed, |
| 1:44.8 | sealed, and delivered yesterday. And it can be so incredibly hard to have patience in a world that |
| 1:50.1 | constantly has its foot on the gas. We see someone else's career explode and we're like, |
| 1:55.2 | okay, but I'm still grinding. Where's my promotion or my moment to shine? Or you see someone have |
| 2:00.3 | another baby and you're battling with infertility or you're dealing |
| 2:03.6 | with sticky thoughts and oppression and you're just praying and praying for a breakthrough. |
| 2:07.9 | But we must remember God is patient with us. |
