Genesis 15:1-6 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
God's Covenant With Abram
1 After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:
"Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,
your very great reward."
2 But Abram said, "O Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" 3 And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir."
4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir." 5 He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars - if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
Today's message seems so intended to stir my emotions. As it is very personal, I can't share it here. But I just want to thank God for this message.
Faith is definitely something that we have to hold on steadfast. Abraham kept his faith in God and waited for twenty-five years for the promise of a son. Therefore I must wait too, for God to reveal his true intentions for me.
The key to have faith in God is cultivating both trust and patience, I believe. Many times I tend to be either impatient or lacking trust in God, and take things into my hands, which most often than not, screws things up.
This time, let me cast all my worries onto You Lord, for I want to trust You for Your deliverance.
