SERIES: BEWARE OF THE LITTLE THINGS 10/6/13
When we are impatient spiritually, it has costly results. Waiting on
God is one of the hardest parts of the Christian life. It’s not that we
don’t want God to guide us or to act on
our behalf, it’s just that we want Him to do it in our timing not His;
and in our way, not His. We are in a hurry, and we think God should be
too.
Patience is listed among the fruit of the Spirit in Gal. 5:22. So impatience belongs to our sinful fleshly nature, and if we belong to Christ, our flesh must be crucified (Gal 5:24). We cannot excuse our impatience and say its just our personality. No, it is sinful. It belongs to our fleshly nature, and we need to fervently pray for God to help us to change.
Again and again the Bible exhorts us to be patient, and to wait on the Lord, and it warns us of the consequences of impatience. This is why we are going to take the time this morning to consider the subject of impatience.
