“According to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised...hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
The old timers used to say, “A man is as good as his word.” To be sure, this is true of our covenant keeping God. Abraham, as the saying goes, “hung his hat on it.” He believed “What he had promised, he was able also to perform.”
No matter how long in coming, the old patriarch was willing to bide his time. Had not God told Habakkuk, “Though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” And you can be guaranteed, “They shall not be ashamed that wait for [God].” Caleb lived on one promise for forty years.
O child of God, be assured of this one thing, when God says, “At the time appointed I will…” He means it! D.L. Moody said, “God always returns by way of His promises.” Therefore, plead the promises of God! Humbly remind him by your heartbreaking words, as my children used to say to me, "But you promised Dad." So say to your God, “But you promised me Father.”You need not “stagger” at His promises, but be as Sara of old, “She judged him faithful who had promised.”
"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises"
