Wait for the Finals
Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him, but he shall triumph at last.
~ Genesis 49:19
"Some of us have been like the tribe of Gad. Our adversaries were too many for us; they came upon us like a troop, and for a moment they overcame us, and they exulted greatly because of their temporary victory.
Being overcome is very painful, and we should have despaired if we had not by faith believed the second line of our Father's benediction, "He shall triumph at last." "All's well that ends well," said the world's poet; and he spoke the truth. A war is to be judged, not by first successes, but by that which happens at the end. The Lord will give to truth and righteousness, Victory "at last"; and, as Mr. Bunyan says, that means forever; for nothing can come after the last.
what we need is patient perseverance to go through with suffering till we can say, "It is finished." Hallelujah! We believe the promise. "He shall triumph at last.'"
