For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
2 Corinthians 1:20

The Bible is full of promises that God made to His people. He has also made promises to us as groups, organizations, families and individuals. Many times, God doesn’t put a timeline on the promise or say when it will be fulfilled. Therefore, we tend to create a deadline for its delivery. Also, we usually get impatient waiting on the manifestation of the promise.

As you know this was the case with Abraham and Sarah. God promised them a child from their own bodies, but they grew old, past child bearing years, and still no child. Therefore, they decided to help bring the promise to life by concocting their own plan. Of course, their plan failed. Even though we know this scenario very well, in our impatience, we make the same mistake in some form or fashion.

God is a faithful God. His faithfulness can be seen not only throughout the pages of the Bible, but in our modern-day world as well. We have also experienced the faithfulness of God in our own individual lives. Yet, from time to time, we grow weary waiting on the fruition of the things God has promised us. Our due season doesn’t seem to come on our timeline.

Getting anxious and trying to force the promise doesn’t move God. So, you might as well take a chill pill and wait for His appointed time. In the meantime, chew on the following Scriptures as “comfort food.”

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, It will not tarry.”
Habakkuk 2:3

“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”
Numbers 23:19

“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!”
Psalm 27:14

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31

“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Psalm 37:7

“And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”
Hebrews 6:15

I pray as you meditate on these Scriptures that they will encourage you to wait patiently for your due season. Yes, it will come if you do not grow weary and faint. (See Galatians 6:9.)

God keeps His promises!

Pray…
Lord waiting can be a difficult task for me. I don’t necessarily like it or desire it, but since you require it of me…I WILL wait! Please give me the strength to wait on Your promises to me.
