There are many things that I see over and over in my daily walk with God. In my devotionals, in the word, on facebook etc. And they are all what I need to see when I need to see it.
Today I was reading about the faith of Abraham. Romans Chapter 4 all of it but I'm sharing a few verses here:
18- Even when there was no reason of hope, Abraham kept hoping- believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, "That's how many descendants you will have! 19-And Abrahams faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was a s good as dead- and so was Sarah's womb. 20- Abraham never wavered in believing Gods promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21- He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22- And because of Abrahams faith , God counted him as righteous. 23- And when God counted him as righteous it wasn't just for Abrahams benefit. It was recorded 24- for our benefit, too, assuming us that God will also count us righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25- He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he raised to life to make us right with God.
Even when there is no way for HOPE when we can't see it, we continue to keep HOPE in the Lord as God will reward those who are faithful to him and will always keep his promises.
Abraham had faith and hope even when he couldn't see it. He knew GOD had promised him and he continued to be obedient to the Lord all his days.
Its hard to get up each day and walk in Faith- because we are flesh and we have a patience problem. We want it here and now- the Veruca Salt syndrome as some call it- where we don't think we should have to wait. Especially this day when everything comes to us so easily. But allowing God to use his timing so that he prepares you for the outcome will always be the best thing for you. God loves us and he only wants what is best for his children. It teaches us to rely on him, to lean on him, to be obedient in the wait. To learn patience and perseverance while he moves people, things, places around for the best outcome possible.
Followed up with Deuteronomy Chapter 8 all of it- The lord provided for them as he led them into the wilderness for forty years. Giving them manna and making sure their clothes didn't wear out and their feet didn't blister or swell. To prove their character and find out if they would obey his commands. He is disciplining us for our own good. So that when we are delivered from the test we will continue to grow in HIM and remain faithful to his commands.
God always keeps his promises and the suffering won't last forever. You won't be in this season always as he will bring you out of it better and to a bigger blessing in the end~!
