The Patience Teachers

The Patience Teachers…

Do you want to learn patience? You can go to a seminar, get a book, or get a CD on patience. But God has a course that is better than that. It’s called Patience 101.

Where is it held? Right where you are. When you are in your car in the traffic jam, that’s not a traffic jam, it’s God’s course, Patience 101. When you are dealing with an impossible person in your life, that’s not a problem, that’s Patience 101.

When there is nothing in the entire day going the way you want it to go, that’s not a problem, you are in a Divine Campus, you are in Patience 101. Don’t miss the lesson. So how do you learn patience? You need to have things not go as you want it, so you can become more like Jesus.

That means it is actually going your way. Don’t miss the blessing that is given you. Next time things don’t go the way you want and you are tempted to yell, listen to the voice of the Lord, your teacher. Become like Jesus. It’s not a problem, it’s a blessing.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12

Look at all the moments in the day where things don’t go as expected and view them as teaching moments. Use that moment for good – to grow.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
