When a coworker keeps testing your patience

Do not grow weary in doing good, there is a harvest in due time.

Galatians 6:9

When a coworker keeps testing your patience. This is where faith gets practical. Catch the sentence that begins explaining what this supposedly means about you. Repeated thoughts can sound authoritative without actually being true. Career success and career disappointment are both temporary places of stewardship. Serve with integrity, but keep your identity rooted in Christ rather than your output. Sometimes the first evidence of change is one truthful decision. Place this decision under the lordship of Jesus Christ and move from there.

What advice would sound obvious if the situation belonged to someone other than you? What keeps you from receiving the same wisdom?

Lord Jesus, do not let yesterday's reflex govern today's response. Teach me a different response and give me courage to practice it today. Amen.
