Dear God, Its taking too long

Genesis 15:1-2
After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." But Abram said, "Lord GOd, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"

Waiting for God's promises sometimes can drive us up the wall... Abraham was blessed in every area of his life... Bible says he is exceedingly prosperous.... He had a beautiful wife...God has blessed him in every area... yet God tested him in the area that God wanted to bless him the most... the area of having children... wats your greatest desire today? The truth is God wants to give you the desires of your heart... like Abraham... GOd wants you to trust Him and not be afraid that your desire would be left on a shelf... today like Abraham you must persevere in faith and keep believing His promises.... the stars that Abraham looked at is a picture of the bible promises that we look at on a daily basis.... like Abraham let believe together and wait patiently... Like Abraham we must not get into the works of the flesh.... Abraham was too impatient and tried to get the promise child by carnal means... He slept with Hagar his maid... in other words God want us to wait and flow in His directed instructions and we would receive His promises at His perfect timing.... Today like Abraham... would you look at the stars? would you look at the promises? in the area of finances the verse would be Galatians 3:14 that we are blessed with Abraham's blessing.... in the area of calling the verse would be Ephesians 4:11 God has appointed some to be apostles... prophets... pastors... some evangelist... some teachers... so forth... all of us has a calling.... look at the stars.... at the right time... The promise would come to pass... never never never try to achieve God's promises by human efforts which is an example of Abraham and Hagar.... believe and wait and flow with God and He will lead you and you will.... You will receive whatever He has promised....
