IMPATIENACE Impatience is a form of unbelief. Its what we begin to feel when we start to doubt the wisdom of Gods timing or the goodness of his guidance. Impatience is not something to smile about. It creates unnecessary stress, damages relationships, & prevents us from enjoying life. It springs up in our hearts when the road to success gets muddy When we demonstrate an inability to tolerate delay, we are telling the Lord, “I do not trust Your timing; mine is better.” It’s critical that we obey Him & be patient with His schedule & plan. Consider the negative example of the Prodigal Son, who squandered his inheritance and then faced several consequences: 1. He brought sorrow on his family. Oftentimes our impatience hurts those we love. 2. He separated from his family. When we run ahead of God, we also frequently run away from voices of reason and wisdom in our life. 3. He faced poverty. We stand to lose a great deal when we ignore the Lord’s timing because His blessing accompanies our obedience. 4. He felt unworthy. We cannot experience fellowship with God when impatience keeps us outside of His will. We know that at the end of the story, the Prodigal Son is joyfully welcomed back into his family. His father lavishes love and attention upon this son and assures him of his worth. But although he is forgiven, the results of his impatience are not entirely erased. He will never regain the wealth he wasted. It’s not always possible to take back our mistakes once we have jumped ahead of God. It is always better that we wait for Him to tell us when to move forward. Luke21:19 By your endurance [patience] you will gain your lives. Romans2:7 To those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, God will give eternal life. Hebrew 6:12 Do not be sluggish but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Be of good patient, God is not late, He will surely do it! Trust and obey, have faith & believe In Him.. wait patiently upon Him and be bless. Good morning beloved & have a great day full of LOVE
