There is a Jamaican proverb that states, “Patient man rides donkey.”
Because donkeys are usually stubborn and difficult to handle it will take only a man with patience to ride a donkey.
The proverb also means that if you are patient you will succeed in any difficult situation.
Warning: If you are impatient, don’t try to ride a donkey.
Balaam became very irritated when his donkey refused to obey him.
The donkey saw an angel with a sword in his hand blocking his path and refused to proceed. Unaware of the danger, Balaam angrily struck his donkey.
God gave the donkey speech to warn Balaam of the adversary in his path.
If Balaam was more patient he would have recognized that something was wrong due to the unusual behavior of his donkey. (See Numbers 22).
Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that God wants us to develop. The trying of our faith will lead to patience (James 1:2-8)
The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. (Ecclesiastes 7:8B)
The Lord rewards those who wait patiently on Him.
You will inherit the best things in this life and eternal life when He returns.
I pray that you will continue to walk in patience and obedience to God.
Have a blessed and favor-filled day!
Agreed. Patience is a beautiful beautiful thing!🙏🌸💖

I love that proverb! I have wasted too much time when I was younger beating donkeys! I am so glad the Lord has allowed me to tire myself enough to learn that going slowly in His direction is much better than running fast away from His will!

Amen! You are so right. I too wasted a lot of times beating donkeys and not allowing the Lord to open my eyes to see visions and revelations. Thank you so much for your kind comment.

Wise comment. Many people want to climb a tree from the top, they would rather cut corners than wait for God’s time.
