Believe His Promises
I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. How long will you wait for a promise to be fulfilled before you stop believing? Weeks? Months? Years? Well, try centuries! Because if you leaf through the pages of the Bible, you will find that God’s people hung onto the promise of a Deliverer for a long, long time. God promised Abraham and his descendants that one day a Messiah would come. And although a lot of Abraham’s descendants stopped believing, many hung on, continuing in the faith. Well, the promised Messiah did come, but much more about that original promise needs to be fulfilled. And it’s why you and I are still hanging on and waiting – waiting for the Blessed Hope, that wonderful Day when Jesus will return. So don’t be like some of those descendants of Abraham. Never stop believing in the promise. It may take many years, even decades. The important thing is, God has promised it, so let’s believe it.
