It Takes Time

We live in a day when people are looking for instant success and greatness. Just this week, a dad has been accused of using his children to gain instant fame and riches. The reality is that very rarely can one become great overnight. Greatness takes time and patience. When God spoke to Abram to leave his homeland and enter into a new land, he was already 75. Abram would have to wait 25 years before he would hold the promise of his son in his arms. That means that Abram was 100 when Isaac was born!!! In the 25 years between God making the promise and Abram holding the first part of it in his arms, a lot of things happened. There were times when it probably felt like maybe he had misunderstood what God was saying. Maybe he felt like God forgot about him and found someone else. Have you ever felt that way? Don't. God has destined you for greatness. This greatness however is not for you to have a name, but for the name of the Lord to be praised. God wants to display his power and glory through us. To do this, He must work on us to get us where we need to be. To become who we are to be. So be patient today and wait on the Lord. He will do great things!!! God bless
