"Waiting on God. It seems right before dinner is the time you get the hungriest,
and you feel you just can’t wait. It’s tempting to eat a cheap snack and then
have your appetite spoiled for the great meal awaiting. That’s how it can be in
life too. We are hungry for things—a job, a spouse, healing—and it feels like we
just can’t wait, not even for God. You see, if you have a promise from God for
something, it can be tempting at times to make it happen yourself.

A lady named Sarah in the Bible did this—and greatly regretted it.
God had told her husband that they would have a son, even though she was
old and infertile. But she just couldn’t wait any longer, and so she told her
personal maid to sleep with her husband so she could adopt the child as her own.
But this wasn’t God’s plan and it caused great heartache for all involved.
The Bible says over and over, “Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and
courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD” (Psalm 27:14)."
