“Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him.”
Psalm 31:7
In the Bible, the word patience can refer to both longsuffering and perseverance. It reveals itself when we are willing to wait without frustration while suffering or experiencing some strong desire. What’s more, being patient means accepting whatever God chooses to give (or not to give) and willingly receiving it on His timetable. In the meantime, we should pray and obey as we seek His direction. The danger of impatience is that we might miss the Lord’s perfect plan and blessing. But when we trust our Father’s will and timing, we will know inner peace.
Remember to carefully examine whether you are taking matters into your own hands or releasing the circumstance to almighty God. And always remember to seek God’s way and His timing.
