Patience and wisdom
Happy Sunday to every one of us reading this, today being the 5th of June is the first Sunday of this month, so it is assumed to be a praise Sunday everywhere and if it wasn't, I want to believe it was still great. I was watching a video some weeks back and it came to my mind this afternoon and was reminiscing about the deep meaning and I could deduce that we need patience but not patiently alone, it should go along with wisdom. What do I mean by this, let's go; In the video, there were two men stuck in a deep dug. They were stuck in a different place but in exactly the same deep dug and they could not find a way to move out from it. In that hole that they were, there was a tree in there but was very dry and has no branches of trees on it. The sun came on them and heated them, they were both patients and didn't complain but were praying for a way out of that dug. Their prayer was "God, please save me from this dug that I found myself" and as God will answer their prayer, the cloud changed and everywhere was cloudy before they knew it, it began to rain heavily. After the rain stopped, the sun start to shine and the tree begin to grow branches. The tree grew very well and it has a lot of branches and it seems God is not answering their prayer with all that. They kept praying and suddenly a huge thunderstruck and part of the tree fell to the ground. But something happened, the first person could think and discover that it was an answered prayer, he took the fallen trees and construct a ladder out of them and was able to get out of the dug. The second person couldn't find a way out of what happened instead he murmured and started hissing at what God did. Could you believe that was where he was till hunger killed him? He died there cos he wasn't wise enough with his patience. The second person wasn't just patient only but was wise while patient. This is what many of us need to know, if at all we are praying to God for a particular thing, we should be wise about it. God doesn't work with the human plan most times because our plan seems not to work out. God's plan is the best and for this, we shouldn't expect God to work like a human, we should be sensitive about every move during our prayer. We need to apply wisdom to everything that comes our way, and see positivity at every chance. It's fine if he thinks God will send someone to pass where he was to come to help him out of the dug and since that didn't happen, did he later think again and think of another way? He didn't rather he began to murmur and feel reluctant to try another thing. In everything we do, let's endeavour to apply wisdom, we shouldn't just act for acting sake. While waiting patiently around that your tight corner for God, let's be wise about it. We should open our eyes and brain to opportunities beyond just human thinking. I will put a stop here and I am sure we all understood all that I have written so far. Thanks for reading, I really appreciate your effort in doing that. Bye for now 🥰🥰🥰.

Wow,nice write-up. I learnt to apply wisdom whatever we do
That's good to hear.
This is just like you waiting patiently for a job and crying to God and instead of taking action, going to see if there is job vacancy, you decide to keep waiting and expecting a miracle to fall down. It won't. You have to be wise as you are being patient.
In fact, you got it right. We can't just wait in that corner of ours and expect miracle, we need to go out there and work.
They say knowledge is power and I think it's right. Who wouldn't love knowledge and use it for good deeds right?
Patience helps you accept setbacks and make the best of what you have, and there's a saying that "Good things come to those who wait." Patience permits you to stick it out and make better selections and that's what basically help the man in the story you shared
Yes, it really helped him.
as they say, patience is a virtue and indeed it is, but being patient alone isn't enough, we also need to be wise at the same time! wonderful piece btw!
Thank you for the compliment
I admire people who are full of wisdom. They can impart their wisdom to people and use it for good.
Wisdom in everything, wisdom in all the goodness
Actually some people want everything serve to them in plate. They didn't dare to work with wisdom and avail the opportunity
You are right dear friend.. Being successful or accomplishing goals requires us to be wise
After love, a think patience is a good behavioral attitude one must possess for a good lifestyle. Patience is absolutely calmness to all things. No matter how hard a problem may be, only patience will make a way for it
Patience is needed everywhere
Patience has always been a virtue that many of our fellow human beings do not have! With patience you solve almost everything in the world. Nice to meet you!
You are right, patience is key. Nice meeting you too
Some people have one way of thinking and when it doesn't work out, they will just relax without thinking from other perspectives.
That's true👍
I've noticed that some people do not have patience. Most people don't even care about what will happen, they will just take some decisions because of a temporary situation. We should always chill and wait for God's time. God's time is the best. God has a plan for everybody
Wisdom is a principal thing therefore get wisdom. We should also ask God wisdom for everything that we do.
