Read: Genesis 16:1-6

Abraham and Sarai had a promise from God. He was going to make them and their descendants into a great nation. In order for that to happen, they needed descendants. At least that is what Sarai concluded. And since there weren’t any forthcoming from her body, she took the promise into her own hands. And the world has been paying for it ever since. (Consider the trouble between Israel and Palestine.)

You also have a promise from God and it seems slow in coming. You have considered working it out your own way, you know – a short cut. It may seem like a good idea right now, but it is not God’s best for you. Wait on him. Do not become impatient when his timing is not your own. He is working all things out for your good and it will be beyond your wildest expectations. But in his time, not yours.
