Reflection on Proverbs 14:29
A patient man has great understanding, but a quick tempered man displays folly.

This Proverb really hits home with me. This is something that I struggle with. I pray for patience almost everyday. It seems like I always want things done right now and right away. Sometimes I even act and speak prematurely about a situation. It's not until AFTERWARDS, that I realize that I acted tooo hastily or that I spoke too harshly. I want to learn to hold my tongue and be patient in the eyes of the Lord. I want to be able to be patient enough to let things come to me.

A lot of times I may speak on a subject or do something in haste and then later on when I reflect on it, I realize how silly I was. And then I really feel uncomfortable or embarrassed by my actions. So if I practice a little more patience in my actions and with my words, then I will have time to reflect before I act or speak. I am really going to take this proverbs to heart.
