The Lord tried him by delaying to fulfill His promise. Satan tried him\r\nby temptation; men tried him by jealousy, and opposition;\r\nSarah tried him by her peevishness. But he patiently endured. He did not question God's veracity, nor limit His power, nor doubt His faithfulness, nor grieve His love; but he bowed to Divine\r\nSovereignty, submitted to Infinite Wisdom, and was silent under   delays, waiting the Lord's time. And so, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.\r\nGod's promises cannot fail of their accomplishment Patient waiters cannot be disappointed. Believing expectation shall be realized.\r\nBeloved, Abraham's conduct condemns a hasty spirit, reproves a\r\nmurmuring one, commends a patient one, and encourages quiet\r\nsubmission to God's will and way. Remember, Abraham was tried; he patiently waited; he received the promise, and was satisfied.\r\nImitate his example, and you will share the same blessing.--Selected.",1783499793845]
