We may grow impatient when we hear a promise of God, believe it, and seek to receive it. We may even despair when we see no movement toward relief. But that doesn't mean that God is uncaring, disengaged, or not at work. There is a bigger story of which we are all a part. Some have major roles. Others are supporting actors. But we are all important to God, and his great desire is that we be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
When we see not even a foot's length of movement toward the fulfillment of God's promises we can remember Abraham, the father of faith, and believe in the Lord. God will reckon that to us as righteousness. And that's a very good thing.
