"God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfil it?" - Numbers 23:19 ESV
Sometimes, when God promises things and things don't look as God said they would, we shouldn't start thinking that God lies to us. Once He has spoken He will fulfil what He has promised! Let's take Abraham and Sarah's example. God had promised them a child and they had to wait ages and ages! Abraham knew that God's promise was true and that it would be fulfilled no matter what happened. God is no man. Meaning He cannot lie to us. Sometimes we just need to be a lot more patient. Things don't just happen immediately! I know a story of a woman who had a huge goitre. She went to a yearly pastor's conference and was prayed for. A year later, she went to the conference again to give her testimony. Her goitre was bigger than ever! The woman went again to give her testimony 2 more times, her goitre growing each time. Many people asked her, "Why do you give your testimony even when nothing seems to be happening?" The woman knew that God had healed her and didn't care what anybody else said. One night she said to God, "Lord, let these people see that you have healed me.". The next day, she was healed and no mark of a goitre remained on her skin! Hallelujah! From that story we can see that, even though it takes time, God has done it but we just need a little patience. Be more patient!
