Why Hasn't The Promise Of God Been Fulfilled?

There are many today that are in such dire circumstances that the idea that things could get better, that God could actually move, that your situation could change is a laughable thought to you right now.   It's not that you haven't served God, it's not that you haven't prayed, it's not that you haven't searched for the answers, on the truth the opposite is true.  You have served God,  you have prayed, you have searched for answers but God has NOT answered you a Word.   You have received a lot of PROMISES from God, but you haven't seen any real answers materialize to date, and it just goes from bad to worse each day.   You are in the same situation that Abraham and his wife Sarah were in many years ago. 

They had served God, they had obeyed his Word the best that they could, they had honored God, and yet his promises had not come to pass.  Sarah was without child, and to make matters worse both Abraham and Sarah were not past child bearing age. 

Three men who were heavenly beings sent from God came to meet Abraham one day.  Abraham fed them and washed their feet, and they began to speak words to Abraham about God's promise to him.

Genesis 18:9-14 9And they said unto him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10And he said, I will certainly return unto you according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah your wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
11Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I have grown old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13And the LORD said unto Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a certainty bear a child, who am old?
14Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Sarah had heard the promise of God SO MANY times, she had counted on that promise, dreamed that it would come to pass, but had gotten too old, it became impossible for the promise to happen because of the age of their bodies.  Just because something is impossible for YOU does NOT mean it is impossible for GOD.   Sarah was no longer hoping for the promise to come to pass, she was now laughing at the idea that it could ever be so.  Do you have promises from God that are unfulfilled in your life to the point that the idea that things could ever change is just laughable?  Don't laugh too hard, because God is listening, and He doesn't get the joke.  As sure as the sun rises each morning in the sky, If God gave you a promise,  keep holding on no matter what, because He will not break a promise, His Words are always fulfilled in His time!
