Well,

here’s an interesting note, I’m in the middle of purchasing a new car some of you might argue what exactly does that have to do with God? Well to be truthful I believe that anything that does not affect your destiny is up to you. I doubt it would concern God if I bought a blue car or a pink car? Not very much that’s how much it would concern him.

To Buy or Not To Buy, but can the process teach me patience?

I went ahead and started pricing some vehicles — low and behold I found a few which I though were great for the year and the price I save my search and decide that in the AM I’m getting up to go purchase my new vehicle! But WAIT I call before I get to the dealer to make sure they still have it in stock and of course the dealer sates.. “Ah Man you missed it, someone just bought it”. Be minded I’ve done this process 4 times in the last 3 days and each time someone buys the vehicle before I get to it.

Now this is where God comes in, recently I’ve been asking the Lord to teach me patience! LOL Well There we go. You see sometimes when you ask for something God isn’t just going to make it materialize out of thin air and all of a sudden you are the jack of all trades. No, No, No my friend, instead God presents opportunities for you to learn patience! If you ask him to teach you how to love, chances are you’re not going to wake up in the morning with a new profound eclectic love for humanity instead he presents you with opportunities to learn ad to love.

As a prime example take for instance the verse int he bible written by the apostle Paul who declares, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”…(Phil 4:13) but we often neglect his key words in verse 11 when he speaks of all these things he says that…wait for it…he says “I Have Learned” so this in turn lets us know that we may just have to calm our microwave philosophy down and learn to take things one day at a time keeping everything in front of us not trying to run hastily ahead of ourselves. Each day keeping in mind that somethings in life are not inherent but instead are a learned strength.

Regards.

God Bess.
