The Power of Patience
I
hate waiting. I like to have my things done fast and quick. My flesh crawls
when I have to wait and wait for service at a service counter.
I know you probably do too. You like to
have your stuff now and all of it!
You want your wedding now! You want your
breakthrough now!
There are countless businesses,
relationships and destinies that have been truncated by impatience.
But I have learnt that not all things come
quickly, not all things worthwhile will come to you at the flick of your
finger.
You have to learn the power of patience.
Career success takes a process of time.
It takes time to build life giving
relationships.
It takes time to grow, mature and become
established.
Many great achievements follow the gradual
process of time and you might have to wait if you want to get a worthwhile blessing
that will stand the test of time.
For example you can’t force the process of
marriage, childbirth, maturity and financial breakthrough. If you do, it will most
likely come with disastrous consequences.
There
is power in patience. While you are waiting and working, you are learning,
growing, maturing and becoming established.
You have to follow due process and wait
for your time. This does not mean you must not be ambitious. No. You can be
ambitious but don’t be hasty.
Life will give you what you desire as you
plan wisely, work diligently, persevere and keep moving forward.
You must learn to wait patiently on the
Lord.
There
are times you can’t have your way nor make things work out for you fast.
If you
are patient, you will wear out all your opposition and resistance.
If you are patient, you will have your desire
over your enemies.
Remember
the adage ‘the patient dog eats the fattest bone.’
Don’t look for short cuts or you will be
cut short. Learn to wait on God and He will bring your desires to come to pass.
“Wait
on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when
the wicked are cut off you will see it.” (Psalm 37:34)
