Having the patience of Job in a fast pace world!

In our fast pace world today where we can get all kinds of information at our fingertips literally via the internet. Though it is nice to have "things" so quickly, from food to delivery from information to help across the world we live in a world that is loosing the art of good old patience.
If Christians were to have everything we wanted we wouldn't be alive right now, we would be in Heaven enjoying the rest God promised for His children. Unfortunately that part of our lives are limited as to what we want in this life. I would like to have a high paying job right now so there wouldn't be any financial rollercoasters, but that is not up to me...it is in the Lord's care, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." I Peter 5:7. I would like to have a million dollars..."They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him." Ps. 49:6-7. The fact of the matter is, I would like to have a lot but it is not for me to make that ultimate decision. I am to work hard and it is rewarded "For even when we were with you,[Paul said] this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat." II Thes. 3:10. When it comes to waiting it is not just sitting around waiting for something to happen, for that is what the sluggard does while making excuses for his decission for not finding work. The patience of Job however was in referrence to his endurence and waiting to be answered as to why these acts were commited unto him. He had not brought these things on himself as his friends had supposed. He was being tested as to how much He would bless God in his personal private life. All have limits but to have his family taken from him as well as all his material possessions, not to mention his relationship with his wife as she responds to his faithfulness to God. We have to admit we probably wouldn't have as good in Job's situation if we were to go through what he did. We often bring our own troubles on us. We are to wait through them as in the case of punishment: "For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God." I Peter 2:20 No matter your needs God is still there to help you through whatever you are going through, "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:19
When One tells you to wait think of Job and then think about How God said He cares for you and that He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." May God bless and keep you. Please pray for us as we will be praying for you our friends and family.
