In the outward\r\ncircumstances in which he was placed, he had not the greatest cause to expect the fulfillment of the promise. Yet he believed the Word\r\nof the Lord, and looked forward to the time when his seed should be as the stars of heaven for multitude.\r\nO my soul, thou hast not one single promise only, like Abraham, but a thousand promises, and many patterns of faithful believers before thee: it behooves thee, therefore, to rely with confidence upon the\r\nWord of God. And though He delayeth His help, and the evil seemeth to grow worse and worse, be not weak, but rather strong, and\r\nrejoice, since the most glorious promises of God are generally\r\nfulfilled in such a wondrous manner that He steps forth to save us at a time when there is the least appearance of It\r\nHe commonly brings His help in our greatest extremity, that His\r\nfinger may plainly appear in our deliverance. And this method He\r\nchooses that we may not trust upon anything that we see or feel as\r\nwe are always apt to do, but only upon His bare Word, which we may depend upon in every state. --C. H. Von Bogatzky.\r\n\r\nRemember it is the very time for faith to work when sight ceases. The greater the difficulties, the easier for faith; as long as\r\nthere remain certain natural prospects, faith does not get on even as easily as where natural prospects fail. --George Mueller.",1783499794023]
