Well, I'm still under the weather, which is frustrating. If you would like to listen to someone who isn't sick reading today's selection from the One Year Bible, CLICK HERE.
But frustration brings us to today's theme. We read of Isaac telling Jacob not to marry any of the local women, but to wait for the one which God would provide for him. And I'm sure that led to frustration. It's so much easier to find the local girl and marry her. It's so much easier to settle for what is here and now and easy to grasp, rather than wait for the much better option... that requires patience.
And that's really what most sin comes down to, isn't it? God wants to give us all good things. But we get impatient, and grab things too soon... often ruining them. Waiting for the right answer at the right time is difficult, and requires patience. It means realizing that frustration will be our companion at times. And it requires trust in God... that He will reward our patience and our frustration with an answer worth waiting for.
God - thank You for providing us with all good things. Please help us wait for the right time.
