Read Proverbs 14:29

Whoever is patient has great understanding,

but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

Reflect

What type of personality do you have — a patient one, or a quick-tempered one?

Respond

Whatever your personality, watch for ways to practice patience today. Refuse to pass a slow driver. Listen to your child (or someone else's!) tell a really long story. Take a slow walk. Read an entire chapter in a book without checking your phone. As you do this, ask God to teach you something about life, about yourself, and about him.
