God's More

Sunday. Gen. 21: 1-12.

God’s delays are love-planned. So the gold is refined, and more is given and got. Abraham waited long for Isaac. And the waiting made a new Abraham, and so the son was a wholly different, finer man because of the new father. Abraham had all he longed for, and more; that “all” became choicer, higher grade. And God had more to use, and the world-plan in his heart was saved thus far. God’s delays arc love-inspired.
