How long will you wait?

So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given you? Joshua 18:3

The people had been promised land by God and all had received it, except seven tribes (or families) you see something was required of them first. They were to survey the land (check it out and see what they wanted) then write a description of it (have some goals that line up with God's goals) then they were to present it to The Lord (pray about it so they have confirmation it's what God wanted for them) and finally, they were to take possession it! They were not to sit around waiting and wondering, they were to do something about it. They were to follow God's plans while trusting Him it would all turn out for the best. Many of the promises of God came through struggle, hardship, and heartache. 

God has promised us peace, joy, love, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control. 

So what are you waiting for? Go and take possession of that which God has promised you
