Now & LaterSample

Solomon, who was said to be the wisest to ever walk the Earth (except for Jesus), wrote down some things that he had learned after experiencing nearly everything that life had to offer. He passes on this nugget of wisdom: patience > pride. 

That sounds nice, but patience is also a lot harder to respond with than our automatic human instinct of pride. So how do we choose patience and humility instead of leaning into the default of pride? The simple answer is exactly that—it’s a choice! 

What does it look like for you to CHOOSE patience over pride this week? Is it choosing to listen instead of talking over someone? Choosing to apologize first? Choosing to let someone go in front of you?
