Patience

Patience.

Patience like every other godly virtue requires the uncommon wisdom to know that it pays to be composed and show restraints than let one's emotions get the better of one in most situations. It is a virtue that proves that we have complete confidence in God as in  Romans 8:28, that in all things, God works for our good because we  have been called according to his purpose.

It gives one time to think things through and ponder over what one ought to do; what God would have us do and not what one would do in the heat of the moment.

Patience affords one the opportunity to allow God wade into a situation rather than use one's finite wisdom and power without a complete understanding of a matter and end up acting rashly to the point of making matters worse.

It is a virtue of the Holy spirit we all need to work on as there's no shortage of trying times that will test our resolve.

Patience usually requires greater endurance than our finite thinking can handle. It is indeed a god-factor we need to consciously, desire, ask for and build up on.

We are aptly admonished in Proverbs 14:29 that,
"Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly."

There's no better way to exude this quality than to try to have understanding concerning a matter, as to why one needs to restrain oneself from acting prematurely with regard to any issue.

Indeed as in Proverbs 19:11,
"A person's wisdom yields patience; it is to one's glory to overlook an offense."

Are you having a hard time keeping your cool from time to time? Then you need to get understanding so you can have a god's-eye-view concerning people or situations and therefore be able to handle things better when such situations arise again.

We need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirits promptings to be able to decipher when we need to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry (James 1:19)

There are a lot of things we are required as people of God to overlook for the salvation of others and to avoid bringing God's name into disrepute.

Finally, As God's chosen people, let's always ask Him to clothe us with compassion for others and patience, the ability to bear with each other and forgive others our grievance against them like the Lord forgave us. (Colossians 3:12-13)
