Abraham and Sarah came to the end of their lives without seeing the fulfillment of every promise God had made to them. He had promised to them and their descendants the land of their "sojournings," but when Sarah died Abraham had to buy a cave so he would have a place to bury her body. Many of us grow bitter at God if all our prayers aren't answered, let alone going a lifetime without seeing a promise fulfilled. Abraham and Sarah certainly saw some of their promises fulfilled. They were personally prospered and miraculously conceived a son in their old age, but the only land Abraham ever owned in Canaan was a family burial plot.
