Patience and Perseverance in Life are a Constant Challenge
As soon as we set a goal, obstacles get in the way. These barriers undermine our goals and keep us from being leaders in faith by trying our patience with God, others, and even ourselves.
Is it possible that God places so much emphasis on developing and demonstrating patience and perseverance in the Bible because it is such an unnatural way to think in this world?
Satan knows just where to strike now that we’ve set a goal. And he uses our impatience as a prime way to keep us from focusing on our objective and having faith and patience with God.
By learning to endure difficult people and circumstances through active patience, we can avoid the penalties associated with our impatience, such as high blood pressure, stress, frustration and strained relationships. Active patience results in less impulsive outbursts or complaints, allows us to demonstrate more determination and perseverance and keeps us more optimistic, faithful, hopeful and productive.
