Chris.
It is better to be patient than powerful. There are some people who take pride in the fact that they are powerful. This is dangerous because the Bible states that pride comes before a fall. Sometimes we see mighty people have fallen unnecessarily, that is so sad. Yes, it is better to be patient than powerful.
