(CS4U) God and Your Patience

 

God and Your Patience

 

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
Hebrews 10:36

 

Patience is not just the ability to wait; it is the ability to keep a good attitude while you are doing it. God knows the exact time for everything, and while your impatience can make you and everybody else around you miserable, it will not rush Him. Listen: "in due season we shall reap" (Galatians 6:9). "Due season" is God's season, not ours. We are in a hurry, He is not. He takes the time to do things right. We may not know what He is doing but He does, and that will have to be good enough for us. God's timing seems to be His own business. He is never late but He is not early either. He takes every opportunity to develop in us the fruit of patience. But other fruits are being developed in us as well. There are several things that must arrive at the finish line at the same time in order for us to win the race! Developed potential without character does not glorify God one bit. If we were to become a huge success yet be harsh with people that would not be pleasing to the Lord. Therefore, if we get ahead of ourselves in one area, He gently but firmly blocks our progress in that area until the others catch up. We do not appreciate any of this while it is happening, but later on we realize what an awful mess we would have made if things had been done on our timetable instead of God's.

 

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to be more patient in waiting on you to reveal what is next in my life! Help me trust your timing. In Jesus' Name, Amen
