He Believed Jehovah!

Genesis 15:6 And he believed Jehovah, and He accounted it to him as righteousness.

With almost nothing and no hope, not even an iota of evidence of Jehovah's promise being fulfilled, mingled with the impossibility of a normal biological human reproductive cycle well past the age, and contemplating an alternative to "fulfill" God's promise out of desperation, Jehovah spoke to Abram again, and this time, Abram believed Jehovah. The result, God accounted it to him as righteousness. Though this is a history, the word of God is ever living, and in fact, this is our story too, very much mine. 

I have solid promises of God in hand, some have been fulfilled, and many more are yet to fulfill. Often, I looked at my circumstances and there seemed to be no way that these promises be fulfilled at all. Often I wondered if I misunderstood God at His word? Or perhaps, I am lost in my own imaginative fantasy? But time and again, for over decade, the promises of the Lord have been coming alive again and again; reminding me that He has promised it and He will accomplish it. I only have one word, "amen!" Lord, save me from the sin of unbelief. 

Now I have begun to see drizzling of torrential rain on the way ahead. Things are slowly yet steadily and stealthily coming into shape. I also could see myself better in the light of the Lord's promises; and the peoples, matters and things surrounding me are converging into the fruition of what the Lord has foretold. The Lord's timing is best, only human find it hard to wait, especially me. Thank God, I was saved from eating an unbaked cake.

Genesis 18:14 Is anything too marvelous for Jehovah? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Nothing indeed is too marvelous for Jehovah. He has His appointed time; according to the time of life. This is what comforted me much, "God has His appointed time," and that time He only knows unless He specifically reveals it to me. I need not be anxious and investigate when is God's appointed time. In the time of life, it will all be fulfilled. Praise the Lord!

Now I simple do not try to "fulfill" God's promises, but simple go on in my normal Christian life as He leads me. What a blessing to simple rest in Him!

Yes Lord, I believe You; Your words, Your promises, all will be fulfilled at Your appointed time, at the time of life for me.
