Grace Thoughts on Ignorance and Longsuffering

So I was in church yesterday and the topic of discussion (Bible Study is the official title) was Longsuffering. While I totally agree that it is a virtue every human being (christian or not) should posses, I had to contribute that "Ignorantsuffering" and Longsuffering should not be mistaken for each other. The book of Proverbs 19 vs 3 says"A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the Lord"(NIV). When you suffer because of ignorance that is not a virtue but foolishness. When you are in a difficulty, first take a deep breath and calm down (you can't think when you are panicking, even your oxygen level drops and your brain needs oxygen), pray and then do something (don't fold your hands waiting for manna from heaven[it happens but how often?Even for the choosen race]). This should not serve as a carte blanche to do evil or wrong but research solution like reading, asking advice from experts (Prov 11vs14, 19vs20) or those who have been through something similar successfully (even unsuccessfully and do the opposite of what they did) and then add patience to that and wait for your solution. I daresay this is where longsuffering comes to play. Ciao! and God Bless.


NB- Been thinking of a signature line, then recalled "Friends" (The Sitcom! Remember?), where every episodes title began with "The One", hence my signature titles : Grace Thoughts on.......
