As He had said

“And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.”

When God speaks it is as good as done. However, God knows that it is important for us to get to know more about Him as we mature in our faith. If a person wants to get to know another person better it is important that they spend time together and God delays answering our prayers so that we will spend more time praying and we will, increasingly get to understand all that there is to know about Him from our human stand point. When God wanted us to know about Himself He sent His only begotten Son to this earth so that people on this earth could make contact with Him and know more about Him (see John 1: 18 “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”) God, in His infinite grace chose to follow this same strategy with Sarah. Even though Sarah struggled with a crisis in hope over  many years she didn’t lose her faith (see Heb 11: 11 “Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.”) The same circumstances apply to the Lord’s promise of His coming. 2 Peter 3 : 3-7 reminds us “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” Faith tells us that He will certainly come back while enlightened unbelief tells us that He isn’t coming back or that He has already come back. Imagine how ashamed those people will be when He does come back, especially the ones who have written books to say that it won’t happen.
