Patience

13 July 2007 – Patience

Hebrew 10: 36

Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

Patience, it is a thing that we need for all people, regardless of your age and your level. It is true, no matter what. Haven’t you wondered before that the story of “Fishing trip of Jiang Tai Gong, the willing baits” (姜太公钓鱼, 愿者上钓)? What for the Jiang Tai Gong fishing is different from us? He is not waiting the fish the eat his bait, in fact, he has no baits! He is waiting for the fish to eat his string and then can get it! It is the work of Patience! Without patience, it is unable to carry on.

Patience provides us motivation to wait and to observe the changing of circumstances around us, after that we could choose the best way to solve the problem. Patience is a calm attitude, anxiety won’t occur if patience is present.

God reminded us that, patience and endurance is what we need NOW, so that we can continue in doing God’s will. On other words, if you have patience, you will know what God wants in a particular matter. It is true! The more patience you are, the more point of view of the matter you can observe, give it a try!

Though patience is an attitude, this pattern of thinking that need more time to be developed are not easy to pursue, but once if you are determined, nothing can get you down! The only who is down is the fellow named Satan!

Satan, get lost! In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen!
