19. Until the time that his word came. God has
his times, and his children must wait till his until is fulfilled.
Joseph was tried as in a furnace, until the Lord’s assaying work was fully
accomplished. The word of the chief butler was nothing; he had to wait until
God’s word came, and meanwhile the word of the Lord tried him. He believed the promise, but his faith
was sorely exercised. A delayed blessing tests people, and proves their metal,
whether their faith is of that precious kind which can endure the fire. Of many
a choice promise we may say with Daniel, “the thing was true, but the time appointed was long.”
