Romans 4:20, 21 
He did not waver in unbelief at God’s promise but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, because he was fully convinced that what God had promised, he was also able to do. (CSB)

He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said. (The Message)

A promise made is a promise kept. This is true of God now and forever. It has always been true for him. My record at promise-keeping is a bit more uncertain. Remembering a rather embarrassing Top Ten list of unkept promises doesn’t take long.

I have sometimes made promises rashly, sometimes with great intention, and sometimes simply speaking too soon without considering all of the details. 

God does not share my proclivity in this regard. When he speaks, he is faithful and true to what he says. My problem is the promises I have not kept. If any of his promises seem unkept, it is because their timing has not yet come. You may wait on me forever to do what I said I would do and end up disappointed. God’s promises endure forever until they are fulfilled, and they most certainly will be fulfilled.

What are God’s promises you anticipate most? What do you want to see him do that he said he would do? 

God’s promises are worth the wait. Anticipation makes them all the more glorious. Lean into what he said he would do. The best is yet to be. The best is coming soon. 

I trust God to fulfill his every promise because he is forever faithful and true.

Our Father, when it is time to wait, we will wait. And when it is time to celebrate, we will celebrate! You are worth waiting on now and forever. Amen.

Daily D – Matthew 1:20-21

Matthew 1:20, 21 But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Daily D – Hebrews 6:15

Hebrews 6:15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.

Daily D – Hebrews 4:15-16

Hebrews 4:15, 16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Daily D – Psalm 25:8

Psalm 25:8 The Lord is good and upright;
therefore he shows sinners the way.
He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

Daily D – Philemon 15, 16

Philemon 15, 16 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave — as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
