The most incredible fact about Isaac's birth was that it was promised 30 years before it happened. It took thirty years! This is no short period, seen from the human perspective. Abraham was 70 years old when God made the promise. What does that tell us about God and about his promises? It tells us at least two things. First, God keeps his promises period! God has never broken to come through on his promises and that should be encouraging to all of us as we read of his promises in the Bible. Second, God's promises are not always fulfilled 'right away'. And this tells us that God's plan, particularly in terms of timing, is not our way. God has a plan to fulfill his words of promise at a specific time and it won't happen until then. So if it seems that God is 'slow' in fulfilling his words, just wait, be patient.
