When the promise seems distant and circumstances give you little reason to hope, hold onto the one thing that does not change, the Word of God. His Word sustains us in the waiting, strengthens us through affliction, and reminds us that silence does not mean He has forgotten. Jesus Christ is the greatest evidence that God keeps His Word: what He speaks, He is faithful to bring to fulfillment according to His purpose and timing. Whether God is still filling the vessel, preparing the ship, or opening the door into a new season, do not judge the story before He has finished writing it. Remember His Word. Trust His character. He is faithful.
