“And it shall come to pass…And when this cometh to pass…And it came to pass.” The first text is a promise made; the second, a promise anticipated; the third, a promise fulfilled.
Child of God, did the Lord make you a promise in the past? If so, you can have full assurance in your present situation that it will happen. For in the future, your testimony will most certainly be, “And it came to pass.”
Let us take solace in God’s word to Habakkuk. When everything around him was dark, and all seemed impossible, the prophet received this encouragement from God concerning the promise He gave him, “Though it tarry, wait for it; because it shall surely come, it will not tarry.”
It is better to be as low as hell with a promise, than in Paradise without one! (Puritan John Flavel)
