Genesis 15:1-6; 16:1-6We want what we want and we want it now. Waiting is crucial to our spiritual development. When there is a delay, remember God is at work: 1. Preparing you 2. Preparing circumstances. "They that wait on the Lord will renew their strength!"

Disappointment is something we all face. These thoughts will help you make the most of tough times: 1. Our God is real. 2. Back away for a greater perspective. 3.
