Thoughts of Grace

No more until next year. 😦

Good Morning

And so, after he had patiently endured,
he obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:15

Abraham was long tried,
but he was richly rewarded.
The Lord tried him by delaying to fulfill His promise.
Satan tried him by temptation;
men tried him by jealousy, distrust, and opposition;
Sarah 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 Sovereignty,
submitted to Infinite Wisdom,
and was silent under delays,
waiting the Lord’s time.
And so,
having patiently endured,
he obtained the promise.

God’s promises cannot fail of their accomplishment. Patient waiters cannot be disappointed. Believing expectation shall be realized.

Beloved, Abraham’s conduct condemns a hasty spirit,
reproves a murmuring one,
commends a patient one,
and encourages quiet submission to God’s will and way.
Remember, Abraham was tried;
he waited patiently;
he received the promise,
and was satisfied.
Imitate his example,
and you will share the same blessing. Selected.

And so it was that he [Abraham],
having waited long and endured patiently,
realized and obtained
[in the birth of Isaac as a pledge of what was to come]
what God had promised him.
Hebrews 6:15 Amplified Bible
