Leviticus 19:23-25, NLTWhen you enter the land and plant fruit trees, leave the fruit unharvested for the first three years and consider it forbidden. Do not eat it. In the fourth year the entire crop must be consecrated to the Lord as a celebration of praise. Finally, in the fifth year you may eat the fruit. If you follow this pattern, your harvest will increase.
This really caught my eye as I realized sometimes I expect results from God faster than He is ready to give them. Our fast food society so many times makes us want God moments to happen now...not tomorrow...not five years from now. The fruit in our churches, families, etc. may not come as soon as we want. They always come in God's own good time. May we learn to praise Him along the way while we are waiting for our fruitful harvest from God.

Amen sister! I am guilty of wanting to know exactly what and how God wants to use me before I am ready to jump out of the boat and walk on water. I think I am missing the point lately. I think that Jesus just wants me to walk with Him and it does not always need to be magnificent like walking on water. Sometimes He just wants to walk down my neighborhood street, my kids school or the grocery store with me. I want instant results and He just wants to be with me on my journey! Love you!!
