“I will make your descendants As numerous as the stars in the sky and Will give them all these lands, and Through your offspring All nations on earth will be blessed.” Genesis 26:4
Today’s scripture reference from Genesis 26
tells one of the most interesting accounts of
history as well as the great faith of one man.
While living in a far-away pagan land a man called
Abram was visited by God to leave the land or Ur.
He was not told exactly where to go,
but simply “…to a land that
I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1)
After he obeyed and arrived in what was later
declared to be his people’s 'Promised Land'
he was then told that through his lineage that
he would become the father of an almost unmeasurable
number of people that would be a blessing upon
the entire world. What makes this seemingly impossible
“Promise” even more intriguing is that he
and his wife were far beyond child bearing age,
so then HOW could this even be possible?
This is the great paradox of faith, in that it is as Hebrews 11 says
that faith “...is the evidence of things NOT seen”
in that FAITH becomes REALITY when it is put into ACTION by stepping out,
yet not knowing exactly why or where it is leading.
For the 'Natural Man' this is illogical and foolish (1 Corinthians 2:1)
but for those that understand and know that God’s thoughts and plans
for us are always right the walk of faith is always a sure and safe way to
be exactly in our perfect place. (Psalm 66:12)
This 'Faith-Walk' is not easy as God does not explain
the WHY, be he does guarantee the HOW when the time of fruition comes to pass.
Friend, Like Abram, step out in faith as God directs -
and when you do - he will always bring you to a place of safety and blessing.
