Abraham teaches us to respect the vital element of TIME in maturing us in the spiritual life.

In the silent times of our lives, God wants to develop patience and perseverance in the inner man.

Psa 27:14
Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.

Patience is a big part of our calling and election.

1Co 13:13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

The greatest of these is love, but love takes time and patience to arrive into, 2Ti 3:10-11.

After years of absorbing the teaching, day by day, and then living in the conduct, the royal family honor code, something starts to emerge!

Running the race:

FAITH is the strategy
HOPE is the vision
LOVE is the destination
