Dear diary,
I am taking my own moral inventory.
Many times, I have shown weakness; I can be very impatience.
I have struggled to be still, waiting is hard.
I did not let go and let God.
Definition of patience:
able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious:
Romans 15:4
For whatever things were written before, were written for our learning, that we through the patient and comfort of the scripture might have hope.
Psalm 37:7
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices.
Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him
Just for today, I will remind myself : it will not go well with me if I am in the driving seat and have not trusted in Christ. Do not envy anyone who prosper in gambling. Have faith, and have no fear to let go of any potential winning through gambling. Do not be afraid and worry about the one who prosper in unjust and wicked ways.
In the last 30 years of my life, many times I have winning when I gamble but this is the TRUTH, my winning is always short, it has never last.
