We live in an age where everything is instant: instant coffee, drive-through meals, ATM machines, cell phones and microwave cooking, etc. We have been patiently waiting for rain so that the new planting season in our area can begin, and it has just arrived.

Abraham was a farmer, and he learned to WAIT on God because he knew the Father would not disappoint him. In fact he waited 100 years for his son Isaac. Abraham was known as the friend of God. James 2:23.
