PATIENCE > STRENGTH
Proverbs 16:30 LXX (16:32)
A patient man is better than a strong man,
And he who controls his temper is better than he who captures a city.
Personal Challenge
This equation demonstrates God’s math, which is so much different, and better than man’s math. We also call this God’s economy, which often looks upside down to us. How can a patient person be better than a strong person. Patience is a virtue that will always outlast the application of strength, which always runs out of energy, and therefore effectiveness at some point. Capturing a city may be cool for a while but controlling ones temper far out-performs and outlasts that. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
