My lesson in Patience
One thought right after the other when reading, researching and meditating over the subject of patience. Truly the two half hours of doing such wonders. I have a better understanding of my goals and hopes.
Yet there were many parts where the scriptures given gave me more to research. Although tempting to be sidetracked I still maintained the course. Patience. I knew I would get to the pieces that screamed out at me.
Such that as James 5:10 "brothers, take as a pattern of the suffering of evil and the exercising of patience the prophets who spoke in the name of Jehovah." Take as a pattern. Interesting turn of phrase. Yet the deeper you dig you understand its the need to endure and even be happy about perseverance in persecution.
Then "find exquisite delight in Jehovah." Oh exquisite is luxurious and delight is bouncing joy. Finding your greatest joy inside of Jehovah. This sends chills inside of me. It is indeed intriguing how I started out just my research and meditation of patience and I find all this wonderful information on how to keep maintaining my faith.
I also found just how connected faith is with patience. As well as humility and love. Interesting how I really never paid close attention just how glorious this all was. Where was I?
I also learned to ask questions to myself pertaining to the triggers of my impatience. Hmm. Several people, work related issues, health and stress. Yet even down to the smallest insignificant things such as time management. I am so surprised how particular I am about time and how some people don't find that of importance. I have to recall over and over that we are so far from perfect that our imperfections will clash with one another. Yet we must keep putting up with one another. Yes I realize that Jehovah drew each and every one of us. SO I will have to keep mildness and peace where I can.
Even in those extremely stressful times with arguments. Oh so much of me dislikes conflict. I'd rather turn around and be called a coward. As they say being silent is the often the best defense. We never know what others are dealing with so just be kind, loving and mild.
So my goals have changed and I am doing more prayers to get direction as to where I research next. Such a tiny change of plans but a grand one the right path. So yeah I am odd.
Time to settle down into covers and absorb everything I learned tonight. Settle it down and since it is written I can refer back to it. Such wonders. AH Thank you Jehovah.
