13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.” 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
Abraham waited 25 years from the time God first promised him a son until Isaac was finally born. After 20 years (shoot, after 5 years!) I'd be pretty temped to think God forgot about His promise.
We need to stop thinking that God works on our timetable.
He is faithful.
He will fulfill His promises to us.
In His time, not ours.

Man, 25 years is a long time to wait. I'm the kind of person, when I decide to do something, I want to do it RIGHT NOW. It's hard to remember that God's plan is perfect and His timing is perfect also.
as i pray for my unbelieving husband, i have to always add "in your time" to it. i want to say "now"
