Genesis 16 Pt 1: The Certainty of God's Promises, Perfectness of His Timing, and the Scrutiny of His Eye

God is not slow or negligent in fulfilling His promises; there is a specific, predetermined time for every season under heaven. God has a purpose for every activity and event in life. When God determines something then, it will occur, and in the time appointed for it, not prematurely nor late. We then, must learn to wait on the Lord’s timing trusting that He will do the thing that He has purposed. God see us, He hears us, He knows our anxious thoughts but these will not persuade Him to move before the appointed time. We have to believe, not try to make events occur out of season, for to do so can result in grave consequences. Trusting in God also means learning to stay put in hard places, knowing that His grace is sufficient.
