WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG?

Have you ever help your mom or someone else bake a cake?  Well you actually help them mix the ingredients and the instruct you as to what and how much to put into the mix.

Then once that is done you put it in the oven and wait. (Or in my case, lick the mixing bowl and utensils :-) )

When the smell of the cake permeates the kitchen time seems to slow down. 

Every minute becomes an eternity. 

"IS IT READY YET?!"

What about life issues?  Is there something you've been waiting on God to fix and you just have to ask;

                     "LORD WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG?"

Read the word in Deuteronomy 8

8:1
All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers. 

8:2 And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

8:3 And he humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.   (KJ2000 - sent from CadreBible)

FOUR THINGS TO CONSIDER IN AN "ARE WE THERE YET LORD" SITUATION.

8:1- God will do as promised
8:2- God is testing you commitment
8:3- He Humbling you (ARE YOU THERE YET?)
8:3- God is teaching you how to truly live.

Pleas study and see for yourself how God can stretch the wait time for our benefit.  Don't give up in the process...WAIT I SAY, ON THE LORD.
