"Then the word of
the Lord came to him: 'This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from
your own body will be your heir.' He took him outside and said,
"Look up at the heavens and count the stars -- if indeed you can
count them.' Then he said to him, 'So shall your offspring
be.'"
Genesis 15:4, 5
Many of you will remember this story of Abraham. He and Sarah were
promised a son and then had to wait something like 20 years for the fulfillment.
Along the way, like many of us who get tired of waiting and become impatient,
we try plan B. Usually we figure we'll help God along. Or maybe
that He has forgotten us.
Plan B was never designed to work as well as plan A. The best thing to
remember is that there are no limitations to God's ability to give us what we
need. We just have to trust Him and trust His timing as well.
Can you count the stars? I can't either! That means God's resources
are unlimited and His power greater than we can imagine.
Next time you are sure God has promised you something on Plan A, relax.
Trust -- wait -- be patient. God's plan A is best!

I think I will try to slow down, trust, and wait for "Plan A"
