Many of My disciples were impatient. They wanted Me to deliver Israel from the bondage of the Romans. Most of them had no understanding of the fact that I came to be the perfect sacrifice that would provide salvation from sin to all who would believe in Me.
Impatience happens when you become annoyed with delays. You want things done now, not later. It is in those moments of impatience that you become vulnerable to My enemy. He wants you to be in the mode of doing things in a hurry just because you want to get things done. My enemy wants you to go ahead of Me.
Sarah, Abraham's wife, became impatient because she wanted a child. You have the conflict between descendants of Ishmael and Isaac today because of Sarah's impatience. Ask My Holy Spirit to help you not to be impatient. It is only those who wait upon Me who will have their strength renewed and they also will not become weary of well doing.
