The Importance of Exercising Patienceનમૂનો
The Dangers of Impatience
The advent of technology has created a global culture where expediency is expected. Since innovation has made things more accessible, many have grown accustomed to getting what they want, when they want it.
In fact, it would be an understatement to say the majority of the world would do anything in their power to avoid having to go through a process to reach their intended goals. But while expediting or completely skipping the waiting process can be convenient at times, always expecting everything to happen in the timeline we want is impractical.
Impatience is a self-imposed curse. On one hand, the emotion can keep us agitated and flustered since it ensures we are too fixated on the future to appreciate the present. On the other hand, not being able to wait causes us to crave and eventually cave into instant gratification which always increases the likelihood of making an impulsive or hasty decision which will do us more harm than good in the long run.
Over the next few days we look at two stories in the Bible that highlight the importance of exercising patience and the lasting consequences of making rash and hasty decisions.
