Have you ever prayed or heard this prayer? “Lord, make me more patient…” If patience is a virtue, I think most of us are not very virtuous simply because most of us don’t like to wait just like a students who counted the remaining class hours and those people who was caught in j-walking. Being patient can be quite a challenge. But it’s clear that God wants us to develop this character trait, and after all, PATIENCE IS MORE THAN A VIRTUE.
Walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh, for the desires of the flesh are against the spirit, and the desires of the spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law…but the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such things there is no law. GALANTIANS 5:16-23
God wants us to learn to wait patiently for Him because He’s working while we wait. One of the reasons God makes us wait is for the sake of our growth and only for our growth.
There’s only we can be sure of … Gods time is always the right time and patience is not learning to wait to others, it is learning to wait on God and to cooperate with His work in our lives.
WAIT. HE IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!
