Patience is a virtue and also a commandment

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