On Deut. 26:9, God brought us to this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. What this is telling us is that God has a physical place for us here on earth, e.g., Adam and Eve has the garden ; Israel people has the promise land. This place is where we will experience Him fully if we obey. The challenge is if we are now in the place that God has for us.

"Wait for the Lord and keep His ways." Psalm 37:34

Disobedience happens when I refuse to wait patiently on Him. I may have the notion that I am being patient - waiting for a phone call from an employer, a text message from a friend, students who do not seem to want to learn - but along the way, though I seem to be sitting still and patiently waiting, my heart is embittered, sulking and feeling sprry for myself. I keep seeing how hurt I am. I must learn and understand how God has been very patient to me.

The Lord truly is amazing! Perfect timing he has! He knows the right tiume to change my heart. I must understand that He's always near, looking out for me, while I cry and stomp my feet like a kid, pulling on His garments in the middle of a crisis.
