Faith and expectations

Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Heb 11:9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

Heb 11:10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Heb 11:11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

Heb 11:12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude--innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

 

     Abraham exercised faith without knowing the full picture. he obeyed God and he believed that what God promised He would deliver. He knew what it was to wait upon God. And Sarah bore the child Isaac when she was well past her child bearing years, because she too exercised faith. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude--innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

   I can learn so much from the faith we see this couple had. God will deliver His promises, He has made a covenant and promises with us His people and He will deliver on those promises.  It is not too late, the best is yet to come.
