PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY - MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT

IMPATIENCE EMPOWERS TEMPTATION: We are all tempted in our weakness to look for a short-cut. Impatience drives us.Few of us can resist a quick fix dangled in front of us. It might be financial; you see all of your problems evaporating if you’ll just lie a little here or cheat a little there or invest in something with borrowed money thinking you’ll get a big pay cheque and gamble the little away for uncertainty seemingly looking certain. Or the temptation might be physical; you have a sexual craving or a food craving or a drug or alcohol craving. A simple “yes” will bring you instant gratification. With a simple “yes” you can kill the pain or take control or feel loved or solve a problem right NOW..this minute, no waiting...oh, that is sooooo tempting.
Yielding to impatience makes you feel smaller. You lose confidence in yourself, You are so blind that you cannot see the truth steering at you. The fraudster will call black white, and you will accept without flencing. Every time you give into impatience you become a little smaller. With each relapse your world reduces to that sin. All you think about is your next drink or that new porn site or the next lie to cover your tracks. Everything else in life grows dim as you increasingly focus on your on that needs. Like Esau selling his birthright for a bowl of stew, or faking pregnancy, you trade away what COULD BE for WHAT IS and it’s never a fair exchange. You are always the loser. And you get smaller, and smaller and smaller. In the end, you lose everything and then what? YOU LEARN PATIENCE THE HARD WAY.
Satan is an impatient being, and impatience is a tool that he uses to destroy us and damage the work of God’s Kingdom. Satan’s impatience is demonstrated in the way that he operates, quick to attack any open wound or weakness in our lives. It also comes in the way he tempts us to be impatient. This is contrary to what God demands from us - patience. Do not be like your father the devil. He is the father of impatience, rather, wait patiently, be STRONG, let God’s promises be your anchor. I say again, wait for the Lord.
THE WORD: “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Gal. 5:24-25 NIV)
