And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him--whom Sarah bore to him--Isaac. Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. Genesis 21:1-4 NKJV
God had made Abraham and Sarah—the eventual father and mother of the Hebrew nation—an incredible promise: they would have a son who would be a great blessing, to them and to the entire world.
God didn’t fulfill His promise exactly nine months after He first made it. Abraham and Sarah had to wait some time before He gave them Isaac. But “at the very time God had set”—when Abraham was an old man—God miraculously kept His promise.
God keeps 100 percent of His promises, 100 percent of the time. Always has, always will. He may not do it when you think He will—or when you think He should. But you can count on Him to come through for you at what He knows is the perfect time and in the perfect way.
Prayer: Loving Father, I take great encouragement in knowing that You are a God that can be trusted to keep every promise You’ve made—even ones that seem impossible. When my sense of trust in You wanes, remind me through Your Word just how trustworthy You really are.
