Good Morning …! Praise the LORD …!
Today’s meditation is taken from 2 Thessalonians 3 :5 “ Now
may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience
of Christ.”
Yesterday, I went to
Honda showroom to pick up my new bike, they asked me to wait for 30 minutes to
complete the documentation process. After an hour I asked him but he said “Sir,
Please don't mind wait for another 30 minutes, we have a lot
of bookings due to festival season”. I said “fine, no problem”. After an
hour went to manager and said “If you are not able to give my bike please
return my money” he tries to convince me but I didn’t listen and got angry.
Finally I’m happy when I saw the manager with bike key and he said “Sorry ,sir
here is your keys ,have a good day ” with broad smile, That reminds me “Fruit
of the spirit – Patience”,“ Can't I have patience for 2 hours ? How impatient
I’m? “
We all face this kind of things in our daily
life it’s because we’re so much into fast delivery, fast food, quick jobs, fast
services etc. We're living in a fastest generation.
Sometimes the
disappointments or sufferings that break our hearts can become the basis for
happy in our lives. I was so happy when I saw my bike and could forget
everything that happen last 1 hour. Be patient with the hurts over
which you have no control.
"Patience is the ability to accept delay or disappointment graciously." How do you deal with delay or
disappointment? For someone like me that’s really tough. Yet, patience is the
ability to accept it without becoming upset.
Bible says “Learn to be patient in all situations in
your life like Jesus Christ”.
2 Thessalonians 3 :5 “ Now may the Lord direct
your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.”
Proverbs 14: 29 says, "A patient man has
great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly."
Proverbs 15:18 says, "A hot-tempered man
stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel."
It’s very difficult to be patient in all
situations of our daily life because it’s against to the human nature. We are
not patient by birth that’s the reason we need to learn and develop patience in
our life.
Lord Jesus Christ is the best example for
patience, he never hurried to do things and he never upset when someone
disappointed. He accepted all delays, problems, or suffering without becoming
anxious to it.
Something that we need to apply in our daily lives,
it’s not difficult if you imitate God and his Word daily.
The door of salvation
is still open because the Lord is patient. The door to Jesus is open
because the Lord is patient. Right now, the opportunity for us to be saved
from our sins is still available, because the Lord is patient. That’s the
reason he may be holding back his judgment.
If you want to become child of God then learn
to have patience like God.
“Sometimes things
aren't clear right away. That's where you need to be patient and
persevere and see where things lead.”
GOD BLESS YOU
