Good morning everyone and welcome back to another morning with the Masters

where we devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Yes

good morning we are picking up on day three of our dealing with uncertainty

devotional in the Bible app. There's a link to that in the description of this

podcast if you want to follow along with us. Yeah. I'm going to read the

scripture and then Tori's going to read the divo. Let's do it. The scripture is

Exodus 32 verse 1 and it says this when the people saw how long it was taking

Moses to come back down the mountain they gathered around Aaron.

Come on they said make us some gods who can lead us. We don't know what happened

to this fellow Moses who brought us here from the land of Egypt. The devotional

titled lay down your expectations and it says 400 years. That's how long the

Israelites waited for God to deliver them from slavery but after they left Egypt

God didn't take them directly to Canaan. Instead they camped at a base of a

mountain while God instructed Moses but after 40 years the Israelites

grew frustrated. Their delayed expectations led to poor decisions. They rejected

God and pursued whatever pleased them. If you've ever felt frustrated by an

uncertain season that lasts longer than you anticipated you're not alone.

We can become so focused on our disappointments that we forget God is still

in control. That's why it's important to remember

that your waiting is never wasted. Even though the Israelites couldn't see it

at the time God wasn't withholding his promise from them.

He was preparing them for it. So you find yourself weary from waiting.
