When I inspect my Holy spirit fruit trees, the one bearing patience falls short. A few years ago, I lost the ability to hear in one ear due to Sudden Deafness. Each day my fingers swiped across my iPhone absorbing everything about hearing aids. I believed God would heal me, but in the meantime, I wanted to hear. Already blind, any hearing loss interfered with my safety when crossing streets.
Friend, it’s in the meantime when we often mess up because we lack the patience to wait on God. King Saul had the same problem. Perhaps that’s why I thought God was a bit harsh on him in 1 Samuel chapter thirteen.
