DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charles E. Cowman preaches on the unwavering faith of Abraham, who
believed in God's promises despite seemingly hopeless circumstances. He
encourages believers to trust in the multitude of promises in the Word
of God and the examples of faithful believers before them. Cowman
emphasizes the importance of relying on God's Word even when help seems
delayed and situations worsen, reminding that God often steps in to save
us in our greatest extremity to reveal His power and faithfulness.

"Under hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed" (Rom. 4:18).
(Weymouth)

Abraham's faith seemed to be in a thorough correspondence with the power
and constant faithfulness of Jehovah. In the outward circumstances in
which he was placed, he had not the greatest cause to expect the
fulfillment of the promise. Yet he believed the Word of the Lord, and
looked forward to the time when his seed should be as the stars of
heaven for multitude.

O my soul, thou hast not one single promise only, like Abraham, but a
thousand promises, and many patterns of faithful believers before thee:
it behooves thee, therefore, to rely with confidence upon the Word of
God. And though He delayeth His help, and the evil seemeth to grow worse
and worse, be not weak, but rather strong, and rejoice, since the most
glorious promises of God are generally fulfilled in such a wondrous
manner that He steps forth to save us at a time when there is the least
appearance of it.

He commonly brings His help in our greatest extremity, that His finger
may plainly appear in our deliverance. And this method He chooses that
we may not trust upon anything that we see or feel, as we are always apt
to do, but only upon His bare Word, which we may depend upon in every
state. --C. H. Von Bogatzky

Remember it is the very time for faith to work when sight ceases. The
greater the difficulties, the easier for faith; as long as there remain
certain natural prospects, faith does not get on even as easily as where
natural prospects fail. --George Mueller
