Patience

Psalm 37:7 commands us to wait patiently for God. But as people in a fast-paced world, many find that waiting quietly for God is difficult. Why? Because we are fallible human beings seeking to live according to our timetables. In our better moments, we realize that patience is not only a virtue; it is also a commandment from God. We are impatient by nature. We know what we want, and we know when we want it. But God knows better. He has created a world that unfolds according to His plans, not ours. As believers, we must trust His wisdom and His goodness. God instructs us to be patient with our families, friends, and associates. We must be patient with our Creator as He unfolds His plans. After all, think of how God has been patient with us. Today let us be patient and trust in our Lord and His master plan for our lives. — Psalm 37:7
