Ecclesiastes 7:8 (NKJV) 8 The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Sometimes we can make a mess of things.
We make poor choices and get ourselves into trouble. And so many times, the problems that we create can have long-lasting implications. They don’t go away instantly, just because we want them to.
As we lean on God and look to Him for answers, we need to be patient and wait on Him. It’s pretty easy to get antsy and want to try to make things happen ourselves. It’s human nature to want to fix everything based on our own understanding.
But God doesn’t usually work based on our understanding!
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
The most important thing we can do when we get into trouble is to go to Him and seek His help, and then wait on Him for the answer. Making moves on our own because we think it will alleviate things quickly will almost always get us into deeper trouble.
Remember; the trouble we’re having most likely didn’t happen overnight, so we shouldn’t expect a solution that will work overnight either.
Let’s be patient, wait on God and trust Him to bring the answer we need!
