When it comes to these "buttons" of mine, I see just how short lived my patience is. My temper flares up and I'm sent into a sinful rant against my instigator. Last night I battled one of my biggest pet peeves. I was upset and annoyed and then the Holy Spirit cut through my impatience and reminded me of how patient He is. If my own habitual sin wasn't annoying enough, consider all of our sin playing over and over again on God's big screen T.V. He sees it constantly; it's relentless. Yet He is slow to anger and abounding in love! His love never fails. My God does not have a quick temper. He is long-suffering toward me. This reminds me of how great God is. He is bigger than pet peeves. He is far above being annoyed. I'm incapable of such patience but I'm amazed by my Lord who is capable of it and lavishes patient love upon me.
