ISAIAH 30:18
The farmer’s life is one of admirable, painstaking patience.
The process of planting seeds and then waiting for the harvest is a long and strenuous one; it requires much patience, wisdom, intuition, understanding, and an ability to see into the far distance the harvest that is to come, albeit after a great wait.
It is not a process where the results or the rewards of the toil are immediately seen or tasted, nor is it a process where there is any guarantee. Instead, it is a process that requires faith, and the basic understanding that if one courageously takes the necessary steps, makes the necessary effort, remains steadfast and hopeful, and maintains a vision of what can potentially be produced, then all things lean in the direction of success and an abundant harvest.
Psalm 27:14 says “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
God knows through waiting we gain character, appreciation, insight and wisdom.
What are you waiting for today? Instead of getting impatient, embrace the wait. Ask God to reveal things you need to learn in order to be best prepared when the waiting comes to an end. If what you are seeking is from the Father, I promise you it will be worth the wait.
