Lord, we look to You again for Your mercy and blessing. Without You we are nothing and we can do nothing. Lord, give us grace that we may humble ourselves as we come to You.
You also be long-suffering; establish your hearts because the coming of the Lord has drawn near.

While we are awaiting with long-suffering the Lord's coming, He, as the real (Farmer) (Matt. 13:3), is awaiting with patience our maturity in (life) as the (firstfruits) and harvest of His field (Rev. 14:4, 14-15). Our (maturing) in life can shorten the period of our long-suffering and His patience. (See James 5:8 note 1)
