Message
According to Darrel Lee, “We don’t go far in our Christian experience before trials come and we find that we must sometimes wait upon God for His answers. Waiting certainly requires patience, and this is God’s way of helping develop that spiritual attribute.” Patience is the ability to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. To excel in life, you must put on the garb of patience. It improves your ability to accept setbacks and toil harder for success. Those who have patience, persevere and make more productive decisions which pave way for more successes. It takes patience for one to pray and study hard for spiritual and academic excellence. Success always comes to those who keep trying.
Patience is a great factor in success. With patience you can avoid frustration, which can cause quitting. It aids one to think more positively and make better decisions. A patient student draws a workable timetable and follows it religiously in order to perform well in academic endeavours. The heavenly race also calls for patience.
