Beware of Shortcuts

"It seems that Sarai’s intervention and Abram’s acquiesce may have delayed [God's] promise for some thirteen years. Shortcuts do not promote God’s purposes. Ishmael became the father of all the Arabic peoples who to this very day are hostile toward the natural born son, Isaac, who would become the father of the nation of Israel. In fact, the current crisis in the Middle East can be traced back to Abram’s decision to 'make things happen' by helping God fulfill His promise of a son." —Keith Krell, Beware of Shortcuts (Genesis 16:1-16) See full article…

What Happens When We Lack Patience?
Expand
“Can you imagine what would happen if you drained all the oil out of your car and then drove around for the day? Even though the parts of your car have been designed to fit together, they can’t fit perfectly. Without something to keep the parts from grating on each other, the engine would soon overheat, seize up, and stop working.” That’s what happens to marriages, families, friendships, offices, and classrooms when people lack patience. We start to grate on one another and it’s just a matter of time before things overheat. See Chris Evans, Fruit at Work: Mixing Christian Virtues With Business, p. 78.
