1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Patience and impatience are all about setting our priorities right. Many times, we live in such a way that we rush to do things because we are too conscious of lost time. We get frustrated when things do not get done on time or when someone delays us.
Every minute count in our lives but what matters most is really what counts in our lives. Impatience has always been a snare to human lives. The syndrome of getting it done quickly has been a thorn in the flesh of this present generation. In the real sense, impatience does nothing to help get things done, but does a lot in causing harm. It has sent many to untimely grave. It has crippled destinies, landed some in prison, rendered many homeless, ruined many marriages and so on. Everybody wants to get there as fast as possible but they have forgotten that there is time for everything.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 - To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Do not run ahead of your set time, wait patiently for God's timing. Of what importance is running fast towards the wrong direction. Do not be like the prodigal son who impatiently demanded for independence. If not for God's mercy, he should have died ridiculously.
Learn to take account of time in meeting your targets and deadlines. Set your priorities right, and do things one after the other. Be calculative and be patient. More importantly, be calm and still your heart before the Lord; be rest assured his presence is with you wherever you go and on whatever you do. You will not crash in destiny. God will not leave you.
Be wise. You are lifted!!

Patience is a virtue. We all need it. In life, we win by being steady and constant and not in our "hurriness"
