Hebrews 6:13-15 & 18-19: God Keeps His Promises

As with Abraham (and his wife Sarah*), there are often times we have to wait for God's promises to be fulfilled.   

In verse 18 it reminds us that it is impossible for God to lie (see also Titus 1:2).  So when God says He is going to do something, He is faithful to fulfill all promises.  

We know Abraham waited many years for this promise of children.  After he had patiently endured, he then obtained God's promise.  

I wonder if the more patiently we wait, the bigger the blessing?  Either way, whenever we must endure waiting, let's not get discouraged or lose faith in God.  Trust in God' perfect timing and remember He never lies, and He will take care of His faithful children! 

*If you want to read my writing on Abraham's wife Sarah (Profile of a Doubter, Part 1: Sarah), you can do so here: https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2024/02/profile-of-doubter-part-1-sarah.html

(Hebrews 6:13-15 & 18) For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, He sware by Himself, "Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee."

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.
