But we exhort
you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint- hearted, sustain the
weak, be patient towards all. I Thessalonians 5:14
Many of us have to develop this
characteristic of patience. We are so impatient that we want to see things
happening now. But the truth is that there is great power in patience. The day
that you realise the power in patience you will be patient.
You have to patient with God,
patient with yourself and also patient with others. Some are patient with God
when they pray and wait for a blessing. But when they are praying for a change
in themselves, they are so impatient that they want it happening immediately.
They forget that the seed of goodness is sown, it takes time to grow and yield
fruit. A good farmer sows and waits for the crops to yield fruit. After waiting
patiently, he is happy when he sees the fruit of his patience. God has stressed
many times to wait on Him. In different ways, He has spoken, “Stand still and
see My salvation. “Wait on Me.” “Those who wait on my will rise up with wings
like eagles.”
Waiting time is not your losing
time. You don't lose anything when you wait. Instead God is preparing you to
come at the place where you will take a leap like an eagle and rise high in the
sky. God has said, “The good work that I have begun I will complete it.” God
knows how and when to complete His work and take another assignment in your
life. God said, “I will hasten things in my time.” You relax and give your
times in God's hands.
