Today is the first day of our "Call to a New Beginning in 2008" where we are using the dates set forth in Exodus 12. Day Ten of the first month is where we are beginning.
Today I didn't have a special direction from the Lord on some Scripture passage to study so I just started reading in Genesis and found myself reading about Ishmael in Genesis 16. From that the Lord seemed to say, "David, are you willing to wait for what God can do or had you rather run ahead and produce something that everyone else can see? Are you doing this to satisfy yourself or to give yourself a sense of vindication in the eyes of others? Doing it your way may seem to be quicker but in the long run it will never be what you really want. Spiritual growth takes time and sometime the promises of God only come to those who are willing to wait."
