Promises-Promises!

I promise!

Sadly, I must admit there are times that I said that only to not fulfill that promise. As much as I meant it when i said it I wasn't able to complete whatever I said I would do.

How happy it is to realize that when God makes a promise, He fulfills to completely. Such is the case with Abraham and Sarah. He promised that Sarah would have a son, despite the fact that she was well beyond the normal age for having a child.

Gen 21:1-8 Then the Lord took note of Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised. 2 So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him. 3 Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. 4 Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me." 7 And she said, " Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age."
8 The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. NASU

What does this have to do with us?

God has promises in the Bible that apply to us today. We can know that God will complete all of those promises as well.
