Though some seem a long time coming, they are not. Though the wait may feel like God has forgotten, He has not. God's timing is perfect, and His patience is great.
Consider Elizabeth and Mary. Despite their great difference in age, both women were pregnant with promised sons simultaneously. The timing of each pregnancy was purposed according to God's plan as was their children's destinies.
What has God promised you? Has He delivered yet? How's your faith?
2 Peter 3:8 says, "a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."
Perseverance in obedience is the key to receiving the promises of God. And when we get off track, repentance is key.
In Psalm 119, we see that God gives us hope through His promises (vs. 49). He preserves our lives through His promises (vs. 50). He supplies us with grace according to His promises (vs. 58). And we are to meditate on and rejoice in His promises (vs. 148, 162).
God's heart within us and the fulfillment of His promises allow us to forgive those who disappointed us on a greater level. When we expect people, not God, to fulfill promises only God can fulfill, we must repent and release them to Him. False expectations can hold us in bondage and cause us to miss God's very best for our lives.
What have you expected and have not yet received? How are you handling the situation? Are you praising God throughout the process? Has your mind been on Him or on your circumstances? How about your heart? Do you know that God loves you enough to bring fulfillment, to be true to His word. Do you trust Him enough?
Have you asked God what His will is? Have you asked Him what you are supposed to complete before He fulfills His promise?
The fulfillment of God's promises points toward Him as the one true God. David's prayer in 2 Samuel 7:25-26 says, "And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise You have made concerning Your servant and His house. Do as You promised, so that Your name will be great forever. Then men will say, ‘The Lord Almighty is God over Israel!' And the house of Your servant David will be established before You."
When God fulfills His promises, do we give Him all the glory? Is it all about Him? Is He first on our hearts?
Psalm 145:13 says, "The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made."
Jeremiah 32:19 says, "great are Your purposes and mighty are Your deeds. Your eyes are open to all the ways of men; You reward everyone according to his conduct and as his deeds deserve."
May we receive the full measure of God's promises by being obedient to His will.

My strong-spirited mom, at the age of 72, also passed; and along with that, hopelessness found its way into my heart. But after reading today's devotion, it's a confirmation that the LORD sees and hears me. I believe once again that HE does heal the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Thank you, GOD, for this ministry, and may Your blessings be upon them."

"Your [devotional] was a 'now word from the Lord' for me. Very encouraging and right on!! I felt God speaking to me through it, and it was something He wanted me to hear right now. Thank you AGAIN for being sensitive enough to the Holy Spirit to write what He prompts you to write and send it when He wants you to send it. The timing was perfect! Thank you for your obedience. It always produces fruit!"
- R. M. "Thank you so much for the timely spiritual advice that you emailed out...about bosses and working. I am a Christian that burned out from working in 2008 and realized that I had let work take over, and my spiritual priorities went out the window. I basically crashed and burned and have spent the last few years (since 2008) rebuilding my life and getting my priorities right with God first and everything else second. I am going to print off this article and get a copy both at work and at home. This will greatly help me when I am back to work full-time from my medical leave of absence, and I want to thank you all for the wonderful words of wisdom. God bless you all this week as you all walk with Him." - D. K. "I so appreciate your devotionals, as they give practical advice but let God do the work!"
- L. W. "False accusations were made against me today, but thanks to your article you wrote today about how to handle evil co-workers, I can see that God is dealing with my character. I chose to forgive them and never to be offended by them, as this is not the first time I am encountering such in my workplace." - N. G. "Coincidence? Now, who believes in that? This was in my spam folder. I don't check my spam folder very often, and don't usually open any spam mail, except this one "happened" to be in my spam file and didn't belong there! And I often don't read every devotional...Holy Spirit INDEED!" - C. B. "I wanted to let you know that I enjoy reading your devotionals. I have been reading them on crosswalk.com for a couple of years. I look forward to reading them because I know that when I need wisdom in my workplace God always uses this devotional to give me clarity and peace. Thanks!" - N. R. "I want to thank you for your devotionals. As I read today’s words, 'Teaching Women' by Margaret Mitchell, I felt I wanted to share the song I wrote for my Mom several years ago. I took my thoughts from Proverbs 31...I smiled as I read Ms Mitchell’s words, as they outline the song so perfectly. I am so blessed to have a Christian Mom. As mentioned in the devotional, we have become great friends." - C. B. "Thank you very much for your kind of mercy by sending to me the strong passages of God`s words. I love to be in His house and learn all what is required and become strong in my Christianity due to my end of my life. Once more, again I say to you may the Lord bless all of you..."

helping me feel uplifted and encouraged -- Divine Word from the
Lord. - Thanks!"

I received so many responses regarding how it "spoke" to individuals and encouraged them in their current situations. I just want to thank you for your work in encouraging God's people. Continue to point us to Christ." - A. A. Thank you soooo much for your devotional on “Direction.” WOW!!! My
prayer the day before was, “God I am at a crossroads, and I do not
know what to do or which way to turn." He certainly answered the
absolute truth! I have shared this with other women, and their response
was the same as mine: WOW!!! Continue to encourage women all over
this world, and you be encouraged as well!

As I prayed this morning, I asked God to show me a passage to help me through the day. I also asked Him to help me with the situations at work, which I always do. I then clicked onto, "A Woman's Walk." WOW, did it ever touch me today!!! Thank you so much for your devotions, as they always help me through the work week! - D. R.
