Perhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is to wait on something or someone. Even more difficult is for us to do so patiently. Our scripture verse for today's short thoughts is found in Hebrews 6:15. Continuing to discuss Abraham and the promise God had made to him, the author wrote, "And thus, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise."
I do not believe that Abraham obtain the promise as a reward or merit for his patient waiting. He obtained the promise because of the faithfulness of the One who made the promise. I think this was the source of Abraham's patience and should be ours as well. When it is God who has made the promise, we can be sure of its fulfillment. And more than that, we can be sure that He will do so in the right way and at the right time.
As you read His precious word and become aware of the many promises made to those, who by grace, have found themselves in Christ, may you rest in His faithfulness. Patiently wait on the One whose word is true and promises sure. He will not disappoint, no not once.
