My father called my generation the "microwave" generation. Generally speaking, we don't like to wait for anything. We don't even like to wait for the microwave to stop. God understands us. He knows our weak and helpless condition. Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." bible.com 1 Peter 1:24 “For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:" bible.com Psalm 103:14 "For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.” bible.com Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." bible.com Hebrews 12:3 "For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." bible.com Luke 18:1 "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;" bible.com Elijah, a man who was taken up into heaven, was subject to discouragement just like everyone else in this world. 1 Kings 19:4 "But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers." bible.com Isaiah 40:31 "but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." bible.com Isaiah 30:15 "For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not." bible.com These are the lessons that God is teaching me: WAIT, BE PATIENT, REST, GOD'S GOT THIS!
