I am a fan of the TV show “Psych.” One of the “Shawnisms” for awhile was when he said, “Wait for iiiiitttttt!!!”

That is the life of Abraham. He has a promise. He will have a son. There will be a great nation. There will be myriads of descendant. They will possess the land.

And he had to keep waiting. He walked with God, though he struggled.

That is our life as well. We are ready to get out and “get ‘er done,” when often there are delays as we wait on God to accomplish his work.

What Abraham teaches us is that 1) waiting isn’t perfect. He made mistakes. Huge ones, and 2) while he waited he worshiped. He walked with God. He learned to hear the voice of God.

The walk we develop with God may not be perfect, but it can grow to be rich and powerful.
