The Promises
Galatians 3:16
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He said not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to your seed…


Some of the promises are like the almond tree — they blossom hastily in the very earliest spring; but there are others which resemble the mulberry tree — they are very slow in putting forth their leaves. Then what is a man to do, if he has a mulberry tree promise which is late in blossoming? Why, he is to wait till it does. If the vision tarry, wait for it till it come, and the appointed time will surely bring it.

(Spurstow.)
