Have you seen someone losing patience, in their life easily?
Everyone and everything, is moving at a fast pace. No one wants to slow
down a bit, or reduce speed. God, wants all of us to have this fruit in our
lives.
No one likes to wait for their turn in a line may it be a bus line, appointment to doctor in a clinic, or buying things from a grocery shop, check in counter of any flight etc..We want, good things to happen in our lives soon, not later. And, when things do not work, the way we want, we happen to get little impatient, and sometimes start grumbling. We keep asking God, 'When will it happen or why it is taking time, God?'
I remember, a story of my nephew, when he was small. One day,
after dinner when he, was about to sleep he asked, me Aunty, can I have some
water? I told him, to sleep. After, 10 min he asked me again, can I get one sip?
I told him, now if you won't I sleep, I will bring a scale, and beat you. He
said, "when you will bring a scale, bring glass of water also...please.." Ha..Ha..
see, children are like that. They, can't wait. But, we adults should adapt the
style of waiting. Most of us, need to grow in this, area of trusting God. God,
causes things to happen at exactly the right time. Instead; of questioning God,
you should pray to God, and submit for His will to happen in our lives. We
should, wait for His answer with patience.
God is patient, and His Spirit produces fruit of patience in us. When we
are patient God works in our heart and when we lay down our schedule and trust
Him, He gives fruit of patience in
our lives.
You, will hardly see, 'Jesus' being in a hurry. He is patient, slow to anger, and plentiful in mercy. Whenever Jesus, taught He used to teach with examples of living things which; we see daily like, vine, tree, seed, branches, crops, fruits etc.
In James 5:7, " Be patient, then ,brothers, until the Lord's coming". Like,
a farmer waits for the land then, sows the seed, ploughs the field, labors hard
day and night, and waits patiently till the time of harvest. If at all; he
becomes impatient then, he will lose his harvest. So, are many people who lose
patience, when their labor does not give immediate results. Patience, will
surely lead to prosperity and success.
If, we become impatient; we are angry, restless, fearful, and anxious.
Thus: it is wise to be patient, and enjoy peace, and joy in our lives. All the
fruits are interlinked.
Nowadays, you will hear from many people asking, "Why doesn't God,
do something, about the evil going around the world?
If God, was to judge the world right now, there will be only few to reach heaven thus He, is patiently waiting and giving time. As written in 2 Pet 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
Patience is the first thing that proves our trust to God. If
you trust on God, you will mount up with wings like eagle. So, stop
trying to figure out everything with your mind, but patiently wait on God.
Patience from God will help you from all troubles and live a successful life.
Famous Quotes: "Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while
we're waiting". - Joyce Meyer
