Most of the time we focus on sin as an event and don't really look at sin as a process. While there are many sins, there are actually only a few qualities in our life that left unchecked lead to these multiple sins. We would do better as Christians in our fight against sin if we would conquer these few qualities, for this would short circuit the process that leads to sin. There are a number of sins that can result from impatience. Instead of always dealing with the end result of impatience we could learn to develop patience and avoid many sins and their costs altogether.
Impatience is the hallmark of our culture and society today.
Like Israel, so many of our sins stem from impatience. If we don't conquer impatience as we grow older it will lead to sins that can alter our lives negatively. The Bible teaches us that the road of impatience usually leads to a disaster spiritually. Just as there are great costs to impatience, there are great rewards for faithful waiting and trust in the Lord. Moses was up in the mountain receiving God's commandments for Israel, a process that took many days.
