"There has not failed one word of all His good promise." 1 Kings 8:56
Bread Box 3/18/10

What should you do when you are not sure about God's promises? Peter has the answer to this question. "The Lord is not slow in doing what He promised the way some people understand slowness" (2 Peter 3:9a (ncv).

Sarah, Abraham's wife believe that God was too slow to keep His promises.  So she told Abraham to take Hagar, and have a son for an heir. Did God give up His promises? No, He had His plan. Sarah could not see the future. It takes faith to really trust God.

After 25 years, they finally had a miracle, a son in their old age. What was the reason for them to wait so long? God wants the generations to remember God's miracle and that His promise has never failed.  So keep trusting God!

Song: Keep on Believing
Keep on believing,

     God will answer prayer;
Keep on believing,

     never to despair;
Tho' you be heavy laden

     and burdened down with care,

Remember God still loves you

     and He answers prayer.

Add on Manna:

I learned from a TV preacher who expounded (made known more clearly and deeply from) the Word of God.  The question was asked, “Why Jesus was called, ‘the resurrected Christ’? Even though Christ arose from the grave after three days.  From Paul, he explained that Abraham had faith in God to make Sarah and his “dead bodies” to come to life and be able to have a child.  So Abraham and Sarah were called, “the resurrected parent” and Isaac as “resurrected child” because it was a miracle that an aged parent’s bodies came to life. [Ref: Romans 4:17-22].

So Christ’s 42 generations came from a “resurrected parent” so therefore, Jesus was a “resurrected Christ” (Matt. 1:17).  This was the most powerful testimony of what God has done, the “resurrected Abraham and Sarah” and the “resurrected Christ.”  That’s why God waited 25 years to be glorified with His wonderful handiwork of God!!!

Solomon prayed and said, "There has not failed one word of all His good promise." 1 Kings 8:56.  This truly inspired me to know that God will not fail His promise. So let us keep trusting God. It does makes me feel good just to trust His Word! I pray that you also will be encouraged and trust God in all you do. Amen!
