“I will certainly
return to you according to the time of life, and behold Sarah shall have a son.”
Genesis 18:10
“Hurry up and wait” is a common frustration. We rush to
the store and then stand in line for what seems like forever. We are told to
hurry to a meeting and wait for an hour for the boss to show up. We spend a lot
of time hurrying up and waiting.
God had promised Abraham a son. He was seventy-five at
the time of that promise. Sarah was sixty-five. They were rather old to have
children. But God seemed to have failed in delivering his promise. In today’s
Scripture Abraham is almost ninety. Sarah is well past child bearing age. Now
God renews his promise and sets a specific time. Within a year, Sarah would
have a child.
We seem to wait “forever” to get to see God fulfill His
word that Jesus will come again. God hasn’t forgotten his promise. He never
does. We just need to trust and not forget all the promises of God.
Dear Father, Help me to hold Your promises with absolute
trust. Amen.
