Be Patient

"Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city." Proverbs 16:32

Many people interprete patience as stupidity. With God that is not the case. If you exercise patience on a matter, you are most definitely walking in God's wisdom and there is a reward for it. Do not allow your temper to overtake you, all our emotions are subject to our authority. You can control your temper if you purpose to do so in your heart and God will help you. You are not alone, we all feel temperamental at times but this feeling is not pleasing to God, we must let it die. If you do not learn to control your temper, it can lead to you living a life of regret. Ask God to help you, it is not too late. A lot of people think when the situation arises they will be able to control themselves but find themselves failing time and time again.

The root cause of your temper has to be dealt with. The only way this can be done is by asking God to reveal the root cause of the problem. It may be to do with your childhood and how you were raised or it could be some other reason why. The most important thing is that the problem must be dealt with and it must not be ignored as just a passing phase. You must ask God to help you at your point of weakness, He is ready and willing to deliver you from weaknesses that might hinder His blessings from coming into your life.

Remember, you are not alone, there are countless other people going through the same thing. Nobody is perfect.
