Promises

Spurgeon's Illustration Collection


Good old Spurstow says that some of the promises are like the almond tree: they blossom hastily in the very earliest spring; but, saith he, 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 shall surely bring it.
