Patience in the Lord
:bible:
Patience in the Lord
-------------------
Have you ever stood at a train station or in a long line? You get impatient sometimes, don't you? We all do, at some points. Sometimes, we react verbally, shouting and asking what is taking so long. Sometims, we react physically - shifting from foot to foot or huffing-and-puffing while rolling our eyes 180 degrees.
Sometimes we get impatient the the Lord. We want Him to do it quick. We want it now and when we don't get it now we basically do the same thing as we do in life.
We must be patient in the Lord. You may want it now (whatever it is you're asking for) but God knows "now" may not be the right time for you to have what you seek. Patience and a cool-head win over hotheaded and impatient feelings.
So, be patient. You will see that patience is a winning virtue!
-------------------------
The lesson for today is....
- God knows when we are ready for something. He will only give it to you when you are ready to have it. We cannot really drive until we are 16 (or older depending on where you live) because we are ready and fully capable to do so.
- Patience may seem like a far-fetched attribute for some. But with a little practice, it comes as naturally as smiling!
- We have all been impatient with the Lord sometimes. Its all something we can work on. Never feel bad because you are not the most patient person in the world. We all have things we need to work on and maybe this can be one of your projects.
Thank you all, and God bless you.
