The Certainty of His Promise

Another verse has touched me this morning as I was reading my Bible. "And thus, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise." These are the words in Hebrews 6:15. The author is talking about Abraham, who is known for his faith. We know his story, right? He used to be named Abram but after having an encounter with God, he was named, Abraham, which means, "the father of many nations". As we all know, it took many, many years before God's promise to him came to pass. But since Abraham knew whom he believed, that the God whom he trusted "gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist", he just believed that God would do it. And He certainly did!

Right now, I'm in the middle of this situation wherein I just have to take God for His word, just like what good old Abe did. Sometimes, I just want to give up but then His words keep ringing on my head, "He is faithful." There's a certainty to His promise. He's not like the seasoned politicians that we have right now (by the way, the election day is fast approaching, and this is the time of the year where we hear nothing but promises) who just keep on blabbing words that cannot be trusted. He doesn't blabber! He spoke His word and He is faithful to do it! He will always keep what He said, no matter what!

When I read this part, I tell you I am really refreshed. I am assured in my heart that God still cares and He will do what He promised me... in His time.
