THE EXPENSE
OF IMPATIENCE

Psalm [GW] 40 I waited patiently for the
LORD. He turned to me and heard my cry for help. He pulled me out of a horrible
pit, out of the mud and clay. He set my feet on a rock and made my steps
secure. He placed a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many
will see this and worship. They will trust the LORD. Blessed is the person who
places his confidence in the LORD …
I keep thinking it’s time to start pondering
another topic, and discover it is not . . . this itself revealing impatience on
my part. I recall disciplinarians saying “We’re done when I say we’re done!” and
so it is with God’s Holy Spirit.
I awoke this morning again thinking about the
expense of impatience. Not so much about the costs still invisible to us, but
the ones we now know about, some of which are under the heading of our hearing “If
you had just waited I planned on …..” Those regrettable grievous times we immaturely
thought we couldn’t endure waiting! Those tribulations of our own making that
we now learn from.
Let us consider these things, apply, and thereby
bless the Lord.
