Patience Is A Virtue (part 2) by yommyuk: 7:14am On May 19, 2016
When we choose to take matters into our hands, such attitude reveals the following about us:

First, it shows that we are impatient. Second, we are doubting God. Third, the spirit of Pride is at work within us. Finally, we become selfish. By acting without the Lord’s leading, it shows that we are expecting God’s will to revolve around us. In reality, we are just stepping out of the Father’s plan.

When we choose to manipulate circumstances or timing, these same things are revealed about us. Instead, we should wait for God’s purpose and path, which flow from His love and wisdom. He is certain of what is best for our lives; our role is to seek His guidance and depend on Him.

Sometimes we know what the Lord is going to do but are unclear about when He will act. Other times, we’re unsure of the outcome. Regardless, we can be confident that God is loving and all-powerful. The more we understand who He is, the better we will be able to trust Him. And when we are trusting Him, we’ll be able to wait for His perfect timing.

The Lord makes a promise, faith believes it, hope anticipates it, and patience waits for it. Do you trust God enough to be patient for His way and His time?

Habakkuk 2:3
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

Isaiah 40:31
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.


IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink
