Impatience

Posted on 28. Jul, 2008 by Kyle in Miscellaneous

Thanks to Chuck Wilson for this nugget of wisdom today. It resonates today for some reason.

“Impatience is a form of unbelief. It’s what we begin to feel when we start to doubt the wisdom of God’s timing or the goodness of his guidance…The opposite of impatience is not a glib, superficial denial of frustration. The opposite of impatience is a deepening, ripening, peaceful willingness either to wait for God where you are in the place of obedience, or to persevere at the pace he allows on the road of obedience – to wait in his place, or to go at his pace.” —John Piper
