Slowly...
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season. (Psalm 1:3)
People who don't want to wait...for a...Norway maple to grow in their front yard can buy a thirty-foot specimen from a New York nursery for $42,000. A fifty-foot European beech is a "bargain" for only $20,000. In spite of the prices, the country's leading nurseries report soaring sales of mature trees. As one customer put it, "I can't wait for a banana to ripen...[much less] a tree [to] grow."
We humans are always...looking for shortcuts to skirt the process and grasp the product. Sometimes we also expect instant maturity in our Christian walk.... What a contrast to the enormous leisure of God in His dealings with us!
