God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
- James 1:12 (NLT)
I am probably the least patient person in the world.
When I want something done, I want it done now and without excuses!
But I do believe that God has a sense of humor and sometimes likes to make us wait for the good things.
Hurry up and wait – that is how I feel much of the time whether it is for test results, a big purchase or even the tiniest piece of good news to come my way.
I have found though that the longer I must wait for something, the harder I must work to get what I want, the more I appreciate it.
We all know of someone that has never had to work for any thing their entire life and we watch those people treat their stuff like it means nothing, then we watch the young woman that has saved every penny to buy herself a car and how she treasures that car because she worked hard for it.
I don’t have patience for worldly things, but I hope that I have shown patience for the gifts that we are promised from God.
At the end of the day, those are the gifts that matter.
