Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-21

Hebrews 11:39 (NKJV) 39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise…

God’s promises are true. He is faithful to keep them.

This is something that most of us know already. But it’s good to be reminded once in a while.

On that note, it’s also good for us to understand that sometimes we may not see the fulfillment of those promises, even when God honors them and brings them to pass.

Scripture gives many examples of people who had received promises from God, but never got to see the fruition of those promises. God still fulfilled them, though, sometimes centuries later.

The timing in which God honors His promises is something that we don’t always understand. It’s also something that we may not like. But, as we all know, God knows better than us and does what is right, not what pleases us.

One of the important things that we need to watch is that the thing we are waiting on is actually a promise from God, and not just a desire that we have brought before Him in hopes of an answer.

There is a big difference between the two!

Sometimes our emotions will make it hard to differentiate between them. But if we pay close attention to the Holy Spirit, He will always be faithful to show us. We just have to be willing to listen and acknowledge what He shows us.

So, remember that if God has truly promised us something, not seeing it happen during our lifetime doesn’t mean that it won’t happen. If God promised to do it, He will, when the time is right.

Seek God. Listen carefully for His voice. Trust Him.

He is faithful.
