God’s Promise

Some of the most successful people in this world will tell you that believing is everything. Walt Disney said When you believe in a thing  believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

Abram had this belief in God’s promise. He was 100 years old when Sara became pregnant with Isaac. I don’t know about you but I think that I would struggle being 100 & to believe that my 99-year-old wife conceived. Science and the world was against this completely. She had already been through menopause and was no longer in her childbearing years. There is no possible way that this could happen.

That didn’t stop Abram from having true belief in God’s promise though. He put science &the world in the back seat and made the conscious decision to trust God. 

Have you ever had to make that decision? The one where you know that God is telling you that this will work. He is saying JUMP, NOW, but the world is saying No way!â I think that we all have all been there.

How did you handle the situation?

Personally, I have gone both ways. There were times where God would speak to me and I chose to listen to the world and science. I chose not trust that it will work. Then there were also, times where I consciously put my earplugs in so I could NOT hear the world telling me how this couldn’t happen. Every time I chose to listen to God, we have prospered. Sometimes those came in the form of lessons learned, but we always prospered. We always gained exactly what he need me to.

Next time you hear God speaking to you, what will you do? Will you choose to be like Abram, Joseph, Daniel, Samson, John, Ester, & all the other leaders throughout the bible, or will you chose to follow science and the world and tell God that he is NOT capable of making it happen in your life?
