Patience Is A Virtue

Today I feel exactly like the 3 year old boy of brother bo(Read his full story here). Me and my wife had a hard time deciding whether we have to avail a car through car loan and enjoy the luxury of having a car but be on a tight budget or to be always on a rush while taking the long route to work every morning but enjoy having the feeling of being in control with our budget. So when I pray asking from God to bless us with a car, I pray like the little boy of brother bo. I want it now, I want it tomorrow, I want it next week. I can't wait for next month or in the middle of the year or next year.

Yesterday, my wife and I went to test-drive a very nice sedan car and have decided that we would pay the down payment later this afternoon. So last night, we prayed and we prayed differently this time... We asked for his wisdom and guidance whether our decision is in accordance with His plans for us... Until this morning when I opened the internet, I read this article of Bo Sanchez - "How to have an abundant 2009, and I think this is how God confirms with our decision... that we just have to wait patiently for the right time.

Sometimes, "We want a specific prayer answered now. But God knows things we don’t know. And He delays the answer to our prayer because He wants the answer to be bigger and better. That’s why His timetable is different from ours.".
