Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.James 5:7-8
The mind is a wonderful thing but has to have discipline to think on the right things. Otherwise you worry, fret, manipulate and say or do things you wish you would not have.
Waiting and patience are themes throughout scripture and consequences of not being still indeed backfired. Listening to God is so important.
What are you attempting to wait for? Don’t allow your emotions to make you do something you regret later or jump to conclusions. Talk to God when you feel the impulse to do something you might regret. Good things do come to those who wait.
PRAYER:Father each day I need to remember to commit the day to you and be still afterwards and not try to do things without you. Give me the ability to be still. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
