Never pray for patience, they say! GOD will surely test you, if you do. Well, I don’t know about the test, but I do know you can’t get no satisfaction with it! They both cannot live in the same house. Either you grow weary through discontentment or you grow strong through peace of what you have. “He who is faithful in little is faithful in much!” This principle is not just for the financial world, but all worlds. If you cannot handle what you have, you surely cannot handle more. That’s just a common sense good stewardship.

Somehow, someway you got to figure out how to be satisfied or content with your current situation. Now that does not mean you should be complacent, but more at peace with the day, so to speak. How do we do that? First, we recognize that worry solves nothing.Second we recognize that in EVERY situation there are positive aspects that one can be appreciative of. And must be noted. Satisfaction, a word that requires faith. Faith, requires belief that all will be well. You want more in life, then be appreciative for what you already have. You wouldn’t give someone a ten dollar bill if they were irresponsible for a five, would you? Neither would GOD. Your time, energy, faith, thoughts, actions are all commodities with GOD. If you are not good stewards of those, then HE will not reward you with more, especially financial.

Patience cannot and will not exist when Peace is present. Patience cannot dwell in the same house with satisfaction. Welcome the latter and the former will never knock at your door!
