Patient in Tribulation

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence to one another, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer . Romans 12:10-12 (NJKV)

Paul writes to the believers at Rome. He also speaks directly to me.

Be kindly affectionate -

Speak well to and of those around us. Let them know that we care.

with brotherly love

Love those around us as we would a sibling or another family member.

in honor giving preference to one another

Put another’s wishes, if possible, ahead of yours.

not lagging in diligence,

We are to serve the Lord fervently. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,” ( Colossians 3:23, NIV)

Fervent in spirit, serving the Lord

We are to be aglow with enthusiasm for God. Some people say we should be “on fire” as we work for God and work for Him.

rejoicing in hope

responding to news and stimuli with our eyes toward Jesus as He works to fix whatever is wrong.

patient in tribulation

We sometimes must wait on the Lord to act in harsh circumstances of our lives.

continuing steadfastly on prayer

We can never forget the power of prayer. God answers our pleas to Him by doing what is best for the circumstance.
