Does time matter to God in terms of when He fulfills His promises?
No, time does not mean that much to God concerning when He fulfills His promises. He is not concerned whether He brings everything to fruition tomorrow, 10 years from now, or 100 years from now. His promises are certain, cannot be accelerated by human effort, and require patient waiting.
Les teaches that faith and hope are intricately intertwined. If a person sees something, there is no need to hope for it; anticipation is more exciting than realization. With God, time does not mean that much, because He is not concerned whether He brings everything to its fruition tomorrow, ten years from now, or one hundred years from now. We know it is coming, and we cannot push God to do it faster, so we wait patiently. In our patience we must never lose sight of the fact that it is going to happen. Christ is going to return, and it feels sooner every day.
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Does God care whether His promises are fulfilled soon or far in the future?
No. God is not bound by human timetables and is not concerned whether He brings everything to fruition tomorrow, ten years from now, or a hundred years from now. His promises will certainly come to pass, but believers cannot push Him to act faster; they are to wait patiently without losing sight that it will happen.
