“It is those lacking endurance who, in their ignorance, impetuously hurry on to seize what they have not yet been given, failing to realize that “one day in the eyes of the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a single day” (Psalm 90:4). But he, who by enduring patiently has gained experience of the Devil’s machinations will fight and strive forward with patience so as to reach the goal, as St. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:24- 26.” – St. Peter of Damaskos #copticothodox #coptic #dailyreadings #churchfathers #patience #angelgabriel
