He has lived to see his fondest hope realized, beyond all expectation. I wonder what are you looking for in life. So many of our earthly expectations are doomed to be disappointed. Things just don't turn out the way we had hoped. We never quite get what we most desire, or if we do receive it, we find that somehow it doesn't live up to our expectations.
Life can be so heart-breaking.
But there is one expectation that will never be disappointed, one hope that is always fulfilled. It is hope in the promises of God. Ever since the first promise made in the Garden of Eden that some day a daughter of Eve would bear a child who would give Satan his death blow, God's faithful servants had been longing and looking for that child. He had grown old waiting. But God never forgets a promise.
