WAIT A MINUTE

We live in a society today where everything is a quick fix and many men and women have little patience for the things they desire. A few examples would be quick instant meals, diet plans requiring no exercise just to name a few. Nothing is wrong with these things but you get out what you put in. We want the success, the results, the blessing, without the patience. We've all heard at some point in our lives, the old adage "Patience is a virtue", but how many of us actually put it into practice in our daily lives.
Speaking for my own life, there has been times  where I wanted something right then and waiting was not an option. Over time maturity has grown within me as a man, though I have not mastered it, I deal with it better than I use to.
 Be it love, career advancement, or improving self there is a greater significance in taking the time to pray, reflect, and consider on the very thing you desire to obtain or pursue.
Be wise ladies and gentlemen and not be too anxious for anything. If you do, you might get ahead of GOD and mishandle a blessing or receive one prematurely.
The bible says in Hebrews 6:15, "And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised."

Poetic Thought:

Like an athlete you must train,
Know your identity, what is the meaning of your name,
Speak into existence, what you desire,
You may start at the bottom, begin climbing the mountain's peak, go higher,
Embrace ownership, never rent your heart out to just any tenant,
Use wisdom to override impatience, for the blessing, wait a minute! ~ JD

There is a song by Bobby Caldwell that was produced in 1978 called "What you won't do for love." Wow! I was about to turn 2 years old that year, guess I'm telling my age huh... :-) Well this is one of my many favorite songs from that era of R&B. Here is a particular line in the lyrics of this song that stands out to me:

"Some people go around the world for love,
 But they may never find what they dream of,
 What you won't do, do for love,
 You tried everything, but you don't give up."

Even though this song is talking about love and relationships, it may be something else for you. No matter what it is, don't rush it , wait a minute. Not just a good thing, but a GOD thing comes to the man and woman who can wait! Until next time, class dismiss!!!
