Waiting on God

Scripture
Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near. (James 5:7-8 NLT)
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. (James 5:7-8 NASB)
Observation
1. Be patient until Jesus comes.
2. Example: farmer patiently waits for the harvest.
3. I must be patient.
4. Strengthen my heart and take courage
5. The coming of The Lord is near
Application
I want God of do everything now.  I do not like to wait but God does not operate in a microwave but a slow cooker.  Food in a slow Cooker tastes better and God 's will in God's time is best.
Prayer
Give me the patience to allow you to work in me.
