Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be...mistreated four hundred years. But...afterward they will come out with great possessions. (Genesis 15:13-14) I can be sure that part of Gods promised blessing to me is delay and suffering. The delay in Abrahams lifetime that seemed to put Gods promise well beyond fulfillment was then followed by the seemingly unending delay experienced by Abrahams descendants. But it was indeed only a delay - the promise was fulfilled, for ultimately they did come out with great possessions. God is going to test me with delays, and along with the delays will come suffering. Yet through it all Gods promise stands. I have His new covenant in Christ, and His sacred promise of every smaller blessing that I need. The delays and the suffering are actually part of the promised blessings, so may I praise Him for them today. May I be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. (Psalm 27:14) - Charles Gallaudet Trumbull
