Abraham was 100 years old and his wife Sarah was 90 when she gave birth to Isaac, the son that God had promised them some twenty-four years earlier! Twenty-four years! Yeah, I know that God’s timetable and ours are totally different; a year for us is the blink of an eye for Him. Still. Twenty-four years? Can you imagine waiting that long for anything, especially a son? I’ve grown impatient after I’ve waiting for a traffic light to change from red to green after, what, maybe a minute?
We discussed how we are SO excited for the end of the school year and summer! However, we have to be patient! Patience is defined as ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with a delay. Does that mean just sitting by and waiting for summer to come without complaint? I believe that when God calls us to be patient, we have to wait calmly, but we also need to continue to go about our lives doing our best and our best should be to glorify God. How can you glorify god while you patiently wait for summer to come?
Here is what I would like you to do...
1. Read the story of Abraham and Sarah in the bible. The story can be found in Genesis chapters 15, 17, 18, and 21. However, if you click on Abraham and Sarah's name it will take you to the story.
2. Watch the Veggie Tales video below.
3. Comment below on how you are going to glorify God as you patiently wait for summer. If you are having trouble commenting, please email me your response.
