Patience


If one of the fruits of God within us is a godly patience, I find it curious how millions of people pursue patience and miss the mark horribly.  Frustration is all they get for their hard work toward peace.

Good money is spent on poor trainers.  The inept teach the inept.  Religions are built around the concept of patience.  And while the cost of impatience is high, most people figure it’s just a part of life.  “Get use to it”, they say with a great sigh.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.  The Lord asks us, “Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.”  How deeply the world suffers for lack of willingness to go to God.  But that’s the way it’s going to be, isn’t it?

I can write until I am dead.  I can teach until I cannot speak.  I can display the fruit of my God until he takes me home.  But unless an individual takes the initiative to go and seek the face of God, the woeful lack of godliness will cover everything they do.  And they will find themselves willing partners in a destruction of all those around them.

Perhaps you were not aware that there is a remedy for impatience.  Well now you’re no longer ignorant.
