When is Deferred

By Stephanie Weaver

W hen God made His covenant with Abraham and promised that He would bless and multiply his descendants and give them the land of Canaan as their home, He also foretold a difficult season in the nation’s history: He said that for four hundred years, Abraham’s descendants would be enslaved and mistreated in a foreign country. But at the end of those four hundred years, they would come out with great wealth and return to the land of Canaan.(Genesis 15:13-16)
