Charles E. Cowman preaches about the importance of patiently enduring
trials and tribulations, using the example of Abraham who faced various
challenges but remained steadfast in his faith and trust in God. Despite
being tested by delays, temptations, human opposition, and personal
struggles, Abraham did not waver in his belief in God's promises. His
patient endurance led to the fulfillment of God's promise in his life,
showcasing the faithfulness of God and the reward for those who wait on
Him.

"And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise" (Heb.
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 patiently waited; he
received the promise, and was satisfied. Imitate his example, and you
will share the same blessing.--Selected
