Blessed Are the Patient
I must confess I have a problem with patience. I will change
lines at the checkout [sometimes several times] just to get through faster. Why
do I always catch the red
light? Why does it take so long for my
computer to download programs?
Let’s face it; life is often
about waiting. I am amazed at the number of times ‘waiting’ is mentioned in the
Bible. “Wait for the LORD; be strong
and take heart and wait for the LORD.” Ps.27:14 “Wait for the LORD; be
strong and take heart and wait for the LORD...” 1 Thess. 1:10 “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him…” Ps. 37:7 to name just a few.
So, how should
we deal with impatience?
1] Realize that
God is in total control in our lives. There is no such thing as luck or coincidence
in the life a Christ follower. Ps. 37.23
2] That being
so, look for what God may want you to learn or maybe an opportunity to
minister. Ps. 25.5
3] Ask God for grace. Isaiah40.31
