Day 7 - Trust for each day
God's promise to Abraham remained but Abraham's faith must have been tested to the limit. God spoke to him of things that were to happen many years in advance. It must have been difficult for Abraham to have the faith to believe that these things would happen when the very possibility of having descendents even was still hanging over him. Sometimes I find it difficult to think too far in advance to see what God might do perhaps like Abraham it's too difficult to imagine or even to worrying to think about - but then I look back on what God has done and I see how far he has led and guided me. Perhpas for most of us we need to accept the bigger picture - the promise that God has given us - and then trust for each day in turn.

Our relationship with God will be regularly tested in all sorts of ways.
ReplyDeleteThese tests will simply take place in the busyness of our everyday lives.
Will we be found wanting or shall we by faith learn to trust in God to provide for us and keep his promises.
