Delayed Fulfillment

I apologize for not posting for a while. Things got busy and I just didn't take the time to post anything. Also, if you are sick of hearing about the Abrahamic Covenant, I am informing you this post is about that very subject. That is what happens when you are in the middle of Genesis.

Genesis 28:13-15

 13 And, behold, the ^aLord stood ^babove it, and said, I am the ^cLord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the ^dland whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

 14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the ^anorth, and to the south: and in thee and in thy ^bseed shall all the ^cfamilies of the earth be ^dblessed.

 15 And, behold, ^aI am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will ^bbring thee again into this ^cland; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

 I find it amazing that the Lord made the same promise to Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Heavenly Father has all power and can bless and do any miracle in the moment he says he will, or fulfill any blessing right at the time He speaks. However, in this case as I take, He is saying in your life-time you will start to see the promise being fulfilled. Which is true. But, it takes 400 years of living in Egypt and then 40 years of wandering in the wilderness to get where they are supposed to end up. Sometimes the blessings that we are promised don't come to pass immediately. It happens little by little, so that we may learn and grow and develop.
