"LOVE IS PATIENT..." These are the first three words of the Apostle Paul's universally known "Love Chapter" in the Bible…included in his first letter to believers of Jesus Christ living in Corinth. "Love is patient."
Throughout our lives, patience seems to be demanded of us almost constantly: Patience with our children…patience with our aging parents…patience with family members…patience with automated phone systems... patience with a boss or employee(s). This list is long-maybe even endless.
The noble eagle, God's wondrous creation, displays for us a perfect example of patience. The eagle patiently soars above the earth…relaxed, no wing movement, just riding on air currents. It patiently focuses on its search for food. No rush—this glorious creature knows its meal is there - God's plan always provides.
Then, suddenly, he spots it…in an instant, without hesitation, he responds and dives rapidly to claim the prize provided. Knowing when to take action is as important as the patience required in waiting for the moment to do so.
"Love is patient," but it also knows when it's time to take action! Currently, Dr. Schuller and Pastor Sheila are seeking members for the 2011 Eagles Club - persons who pledge to give $50 a month for 12 months... or, a one-time gift of $600. If you love Hour of Power, then please respond - take action - today. Trust God for the resources to do so... but make the commitment to join the 2011 Eagles Club, now.
