Immediately If Not Sooner
Patience is not my greatest strength. Most of the time, I want everything done immediately, if not sooner. I want it done now, but I wish it were already done.
That seems true for many of us.
We want everything fast:
- Food
- Information
- Service
We don’t like to wait.
A right smart of patience would do us all good. Instead, we tie ourselves in knots with worry. because we can’t get everything done as fast as we want.
We become content when we begin to enjoy each moment.
With an easy does it state of mind, we:
- Learn from the past
- Do what we can today.
- Look forward to what the future holds.
Like crossing a bridge on a family vacation, we enjoy the ride.
Above all and at all times, pray for and follow God’s direction.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer” Romans 12:12 NIV).
