The Importance of Patience
Impatience can lead to stress and frustration. It can strain our relationships and affect our mental health. When we are impatient, we often make hasty decisions that we later regret.
By practicing patience, we can avoid these negative outcomes. We can make better decisions and maintain healthier relationships.
The Bible says believers should be “in the world but not of it” (John 17:14-16). That is why patience, though an unpopular quality in today’s fast-paced world, should be a revered virtue in the lives of those who love God.
In fact, His Word constantly underscores the importance of having patience and explains how hastiness can lead to ruin.
Tomorrow we will look at the life of King Saul, who lost the Lord's favor as a result of his impatience and hastiness.

Impatience is a self-imposed curse. On one hand, it frustrates and forces us to fixate on the future at the expense of the present. On the other hand, it causes us to crave and eventually cave into instant gratification, leading to hasty decisions that do more harm than good. This plan will discuss the importance of patience to help us wait on the Lord and be content with His timing.
