I am sure each of us has been told to learn patience. Having patience is important because it instills in us a certain level of discipline. There are things we want to acquire and accomplish in our lives. At times when we do not acquire or accomplish the things we want in the timeliness we have in mind there is a chance to become impatient. Have we ever lost our trust in God when he does not bless us with what our hearts want when we want it? When we put our trust in God, we need to realize the things we are blessed with are on a schedule we do not control. 2 Peter 3:9 says:

“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

For us to accomplish what we want, patience is needed. It will give us the right mindset needed to make our goals become a reality. It is just as important for us not to lose faith in God when things do not look great. We need to be consistent with what we need to do to succeed. The same applies to our lives as Christians. We need to consistently do what we are called to do. Even when we think no one is watching or what we are doing is not making a difference it truly makes a difference. Galatians 6:9 says:

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” 

Let us be patient in all we do. It will pay off in the long run!
