90% slow waiting, 10% quick repenting

​

Scripture:
"Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord."
Psalms 27:14 NLT

"Saul waited there seven days for Samuel, as Samuel had instructed him earlier, but Samuel still didn’t come. Saul realized that his troops were rapidly slipping away. So he demanded, “Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings!” And Saul sacrificed the burnt offering himself. Just as Saul was finishing with the burnt offering, Samuel arrived."
1 Sam 13:8-10 NLT

“When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly..."
Matthew 5:25 NLT

"...Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,"
Ephesians 4:26 NLT

Application:
It seems that 90% of all the wisest advice involves waiting.
The other 10% involves repenting for the mistakes we made by not waiting.

Prayer:
Father, help us to slowly wait and quickly repent. Amen.
