V. 15.— And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Abraham is here exhibited as our pattern of faith and patience. He is the father of believers, who, like him, have need of patience. They walk by faith, not by sight, and are taught by the example of Abraham, though the vision tarry, to wait for it, because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:3.
