Gods promise and timing...

Read this morning .. gives me hope...


The average woman would be alarmed if angeles showed up at her door and told her that even though she's long past childbearing age, she is going to have a baby. Sarah laughed. It wasn't that she didn't want to have a child. For most of her ninety or so years she'd tried to get pregnant. And this wasn't the first time God had sent the message that she was to become a mother. He'd said that before and nothing happened. So Sarah tried to "HELP" God out by encouraging her servant girl to have a child by her husband, Abraham, a child she had planned to raise. But Sarah's schemes to help God fulfill God's promise ended up in a mess.
After years had passed, God reminded Sarah and Abraham of His promise. Sarah's laughter indicated that she had given up on ever holding that baby. But the angeles reminded her, "Is anything too hard for the LORD?"
At one time or another, we all believe that God has promised us something, but we haven't seen the promise fulfilled. When that happens, it's tempting to try to finagle people and situations to make the desired results happen. And after disappointments, it's tempting to just give up on God. KEEP YOUR HOPE IN HIM. His timing is not the same as ours.
What God promises, He will do. Let's put our faith in high gear and wait for him to act when everything is just right .Remember nothing is impossible for God. Is anything too hard for the LORD? NO! I will return to see you at the right time a year from now, and Sarah will have a son. (Genesis 18:14 KJV) TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Written by Wilma- (Sister's in Christ Women's fellowship)
