Patience is very hard work! 

07 Apr Patience is very hard work! 

It is said as a joke but it is powerful advice: “A patient must be patient.”

🎯Like patients looking for cure, we are all in desperate need of one thing or another.

🎯But even in the current microwave world of haste and impatience, we have to be patient in our approach to get the best.

🎯Patience is hard work and this is especially true when we are waiting on God, who keeps to His own timetable.

🎯Despite where we are in life, it is not over until it is over. We can trust God to deliver His promises.

🎯A person’s willingness to be patient reveals the value of what he or she desires.

🎯No one goes wrong waiting for the Lord to send His best in His perfect timing.

🎯Of course, we don’t receive everything we ask for since.

🎯God knows what is good for us be we ask for what we think we need, based on our limited information.

🎯At times, God simply says NO.

🎯Other times, He adjusts our desires to match His.

🎯In our humanness, we can’t possibly know all the details of a situation.

🎯A submissive heart accepts the Father’s gentle redirection.

🎯When the awaited object of desire comes, it may not look like what we originally requested, but it will be exactly what we need.

🎯Fools rush to seize their prize, but wise believers know that blessing will come in God’s good time.
