The importance of patience

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The sermon is about the importance of patience and persistence in achieving our goals and overcoming life's obstacles. The speaker emphasizes that emotional and spiritual health require many different pieces working together, and that patience is a necessary element in this. Even when we face struggles and burdens, we must continue to persist and not give up. The Bible advises us to write down our visions and dreams, and to wait patiently for them to come to fruition. Although God may take His time in creating our visions, everything that He allows to intervene in the process is exactly what is required. Ultimately, we must trust in God's timing and have faith that our visions will be realized.

When God is working in our lives, everything happens with purpose and nothing is superfluous or lacking. Even if it seems like the vision is taking too long to come to fruition, we must not give up because God's visions often require a long journey before becoming a reality. Like Abraham, we may have to travel great distances in time and space before our aspirations become reality. We must be patient and trust that God is preparing us for the glory that He has destined for us. Persistence and determination are essential ingredients for success, and we must not try to evade the waiting stations that will arise on the way to the summit. The beautiful symphony of a purposeful life is not realized overnight, it requires an ability to see the long term, to wait patiently, and to arm ourselves with faith and hope.


The story of Tony Meléndez, who learned to play the guitar with his toes, and Adriana, who uses her feet as hands, illustrates the amazing flexibility and potential of the human brain. We should not limit ourselves, but instead, start the journey towards our goals with persistence, faith, hope, and patience. God is with us every step of the way and we can do all things through Christ. We should not be anxious, but trust in God's promises for our lives.


A few months ago I preached a series of sermons on spiritual health, you may recall, and we talked about God wanting us to live healthy lives, victorious lives, lives above all else. Lives that despite the trials and struggles, and the disappointments and tragedies of life, can reflect that abundance to which God has called us. And a healthy life is like a healthy body that is made up of many different parts and nutrients, it's not just one thing, it's many things cooperating together.

You can be very well in 99% of your body but if a certain acid or a hormone is missing, or a gland is not working well, no matter how small, if there is a chemical that is missing, that lack of that .1 % or whatever affects in a significant way and the rest of the health, and so is the emotional and spiritual health as well. It is made up of many different pieces and parts that all together essentially produce a healthy person. It does not mean that we are perfect but that we can function well in life, that we can be happy, that we can bless others, that we know that God loves us and that we can be victors in the midst of trials and struggles.

Instead of complaining we have to be patient with each other
Patience with each other is important in church and all social relationships. We must forgive, tolerate, and guide each other with love and meekness, especially when someone falls or has spiritual struggles. Pastors and teachers must also be patient with their congregations. Without patience, there can be no harmony in a community. James emphasizes the need for patience in both waiting for the Second Coming and restoring each other.
