Patience Day 50
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
Philippians
4:6
Many children believe that they can drive cars the same as
their parents. It does not matter that they cannot touch the pedals or even see
over the steering wheel yet. In the eyes of these children, they are fully
prepared to take on the task of driving.
Similarly, many of us prematurely aspire to immediately attain
certain status levels. We desire to have particular possessions or positions.
We seek to assume new responsibilities professionally or in the body of Christ.
Sometimes, we even anxiously await to marry, have children, or achieve specific
life goals. However, in all of these circumstances, we may face extreme
difficulties or not have the success we desire because we are not prepared and
the time is not right.
Instead of looking to an artificial timeline or comparisons
with others, we can perform a spiritual evaluation to know whether it is time
to step forward in faith. There is a difference between being obedient to the
will of God and being anxious to promote our own will. So, let us pray for the
opportunities to be prepared, and then, wait patiently to grow.
