Today’s Reading: “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)
Feel like you don’t have a clue in this world????
Oh, beloved, you are in such a wonderful place right now. I know it seems as if you are stumbling around in the dark, and in a way that is what we, as believers, are doing. It’s called faith!
As we read yesterday, Abraham, the father of our faith, was actually called out (sanctified, i.e., set-apart) by God for God’s holy purpose. Abraham was asked to leave his safe and comfortable home and seek after a place that only God could and would show him. God promised Abraham that he would be a blessing, and that through him (Abraham) many nations would arise.
Now, talk about a faith walk! You see, Abraham came out of a pagan background–he was 75 years old and his wife, Sarah, was barren. More, even if God were to open her womb, Sarah was already well past the childbearing age! Why, even the though of carrying a child at that age would be the death of most women! Talk about stumbling around in the dark!
Everything inside Abraham (and Sarah) must have screamed, “This is crazy–impossible! What are you thinking????” But, no, Abraham (and Sarah) chose to believe God. And, God accounted that belief in God unto them as righteousness! Right standing with God. Blameless–not sinless.
Oh, whatever lies before you–fear not! With God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)! Walk on, beloved! Walk on!
