“I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.” (Psalm 40:1). Read: Psalm 40:1-3 One of the cheapest and fastest routes to an early grave and eternal destruction is impatience. The easiest mistake responsible for the errors in so many lives, careers, education, marriages and destinies is the inability to wait patiently for their correct timing in accordance with divine agenda and purpose. No two persons are the same. We all carry different destinies and purposes on earth. God didn’t create you to be like any other man. You are unique in your way. Comparing yourself with another man is readiness to run the race that is not originally yours. The end of such a journey made in impatience, can never be palatable. The message this morning is a direct warning to a subscribers to this devotional. It’s possible you are getting frustrated already with your results on earth. It appears things are not working out in the same way as with your friends or neighbours. Maybe you have engaged your heart in ceaseless comparison on why this has worked for your friend and not for you. You need to be very careful not to destroy your future through lust and impatience. …but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” (2 Corinthians 10:12). It’s pure foolishness to compare yourself with others. Envy and jealousy will put your originality in a cage and will push you into doing things that were never part of the requirement for your fulfilment in life. You can’t copy the styles of your friends to get a good job, you don’t need to imitate the world to get your desired partner in marriage. It is foolishness to jump from pillar to post in the name of searching for greener pasture. Many through impatience have ended their journeys in endless sorrow and regrets by these means. Wait for your time. Prayerfully consider the portion of God for you in the redemption. See the scripture below: “The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.” (Psalm 16:6). You don’t have a bad heritage. Stop grouping yourself with failures. You have called yourself names enough. You need to see with the eye of the Spirit what God is calling you. You need faith and patience to enjoy the provisions of God for your tomorrow. If you run in error today, you will eat the bread of sorrow tomorrow. “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” (Hebrews 6:12). Patience is a great virtue. You either wait for your time or you end up a waste on the earth. Some ladies are nothing to write home about in our environment because they failed to take it easy. Some women are regretting and are without a way out of that marriage because they failed to heed the right counsel but were too much in haste to get to the altar like their friends. The promises of God are yea and amen. God cannot lie neither will he repent of his promises. If you will get the best of God on the earth, you must be conscious of divine timing. Beloved, “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” (Hebrews 10:36). Don’t labour in vain, don’t allow yourself to be used without the desired result in view. Encourage yourself to wait for what God has to offer. Don’t be in a rush to say yes to that guy who wants your hand in marriage by force and fire. Don’t follow the multitude to do evil and be careful never to involve yourself in anything that will jeopardise your glorious future. Don’t rush into ministry because some folks are making it through deceitful means. It’s dangerous to be in a haste. Your journey on earth has been written in a manual by your maker. Wait patiently in order to fulfil your divine destiny. Reject the dictates of the flesh and be careful of evil communication and counsellors. David said: “I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.” (Psalm 40:1). “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (James 1:4). Instead of rushing, switch to praying. Call on God and He will direct you properly on how to get it better and faster. Don’t jump the gun and shoot yourself on the foot. Don’t make that mistake that can cost you your joy in marriage, business or even claim your glorious life. Stop comparing your home with those of your friends. Your husband will soon make it and your children will equally be mighty on the earth. Please wait for God’s ordained timing and pray for the correct and timely manifestation of God’s agenda for your destiny. It shall be well with you Prayer: Father, I receive grace to live in patience and never to miss your portion for my life in Jesus name.
