Ever heard of the following expressions: “Be patient, it takes time, things will improve, don’t lose heart”?
And it’s funny how we often admire the patience of the driver behind us rather than the one in front – who is in fact observing the speed limit.
As I ponder these thoughts I’m reminded of a classic example in the Bible: although the Israelites received manna from heaven, it was the same, predictable, boring menu every day.
They had no other alternative but to accept what was available without objection and whenever they attempted to hoard the manna, it became inedible.
And then I had an epiphany – a sudden revelation and insight, my very own “a-ha moment.”
I understood things do not always have to be faultless.
There isn’t a flawless situation nor is there an impeccable human being.
Sometimes it’s the unplanned, non-photographed moments shared between people that count the most on just an ordinary day.
Thinking and complaining of our grievances leaves a feeling of despondence.
It may also indirectly cloud the judgement and influence the decision making of those who may look up to us.
Refrain from thoughts of this nature and develop a habit of seeking life which entails continuous reflections on our part.
Cultivate endless positivity.
Let’s eradicate negativity and share responsibility in fixing and alleviating social ills by being productive in working towards improving the current economic situation for the benefit of society and future generations.
If we’re true, unshakable believers in good things, then evidently lack of patience which ultimately leads to ungodly thinking should be one of many struggles we fight regularly – therefore, take it easy, be still and just relax.
Be courteous, express liberty and radiate joy with an optimistic spirit – give hope.
Extend a greeting, say, “hello, please, may I, thank you” when addressing others – show humility, a simple yet sincere act of kindness goes a long way.
The crux of the matter is: situations evolve and do not remain the same.
Good things come to those who wait; therefore, be patient!
You’ve got it in you, yes you…
When confronted with everyday manna (reminders) we ought to see beyond the natural eye in conviction that provision is made for us in advance.
Our daily manna (trials) is a taste of what is coming – the real deal, your ultimate goal!
