  1. Shall long beloved and welcome to today's morning glary devotion

  2. facilitating today's Moninglory devotion. As Jessica a holy Let's pray,

  3. Father Lord, we thank you for another opportunity to study

  4. your word. Help us to understand your word and be

  5. tew us of your word in Jesus name. Amen, Let's

  6. kindly take our confession Joshor Chapter one, vers eight. This

  7. book of the Law shall not depart out of my mouth,

  8. but I shall meditate in its day and night, that

  9. I may observe to do according to all that to

  10. shorten in it. For then I will make my reprospose,

  11. and then I will have good success a man when

  12. the promise takes time. When the promise takes time, our

  13. first scripture will not be taken. From Genesis eighteen, verse

  14. nine to eleven, and he says, where is Sarah, your wife?

  15. The visitors asked, she's inside the tent. Ibraham replied the

  16. one of them said, I will return to you about

  17. this time next year, and your wife, Sarah will have

  18. a son. Sarah was listening to this conversation from the tent.

  19. Abraham and Sarah were both very bored by this time,

  20. and Sarah was long past the age of having children.

  21. Our second scripture will not be taken from Genesis twenty one.

  22. First one to do. The Lord kept his word and

  23. did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. She became pregnant,

  24. and she gave bed to a son for Abraham and

  25. his old age. This happened at just the time God

  26. has said the truth, and Abraham named their son Isaac Amen.

  27. When the promise takes time. As believers, delays are a

  28. normal part of our journey. No matter what God has

  29. spoken over your life, it will only manifest at the

  30. right time. God's promises are never late, They arrive according

  31. to his perfect timing. When God gives us a dream,

  32. challenges will come. Difficulties, disappointments, dead ends, and moments that

  33. seemed hopeless are all part of life. The presence of

  34. obstacles does not mean God has forgotten his promise. Sometimes

  35. the greatest test is not whether we believe God can

  36. do it, but whether we can wait for him to

  37. do it. The story of Abraham reminds us that whatever

  38. God's tays over our lives will surely come to pass. Abraham,

  39. most seventy five years old, when God promised that he

  40. would become the father of many nations. Yet he did

  41. not hold Isaac the promised sir, and so he was

  42. one hundred years old for twenty five years. Abraham had

  43. to trust God even when the promise seemed impossible. As

  44. you grew older and Sarah remained barren, every natural circumstance

  45. suggested that the promise would never happen. Yet God remain faithful.

  46. The life of Abraham teaches us that God's promises often

  47. requires patience. The waiting season is not prove that God

  48. has forgotten us. Sometimes God uses the waiting period to

  49. build our faith, character, and dependence on Him. Perhaps you

  50. are in a season of waiting right now. Maybe you

  51. were discouraged because the promise has not yet materialized. Maybe

  52. you are tempted to quit because the process is taken

  53. longer than you expected. Do not give up. God is

  54. stolen control. What he has spoken concern in your life

  55. will surely come to pass. Abraham waited twenty five years,

  56. and God kept his promise. Just as God fulfilled his

  57. word to Abraham, he will surely fulfill his words to you.

  58. Just keep saving, reading the word, praying fellowship, and at

  59. the right time, the promise will be fulfilled. Amen. Our

  60. memory first for today is taken from Habakerck two the three,

  61. and he says, don't it's linger, wait for it. It

  62. will certainly come and will not delay. Ammen. Let's pray,

  63. Lord Jesus, thank you for today. Thank you for your

  64. word that has come into our hearts. Lord, we pray

  65. and ask for grace to be able to wait on

  66. you and trust that whatever it is that you have

  67. said concerning our lives to come to pass and will

  68. come to pass at the rise time. Give us a

  69. grace to wait patiently and trust you in Jesus' name. Amen. God,

  70. bless you so much for joining in today's episode. I

  71. hope you've been blessed. See the same time tomorrow for

  72. another episode. Have a great day.
