By faith...

This morning I was reading in Hebrews 11 and came across verse 11 that says..."By faith Abraham, even though he was past age -and Sarah herself was barren- was enabled to become a father because he considered Him faithful who had made the promise." God had promised Abraham that he would have as many children as the stars in the sky and even though it was physically impossible for that to happen, Abraham believed God. God then credited that to Abraham as righteousness. (Genesis 15:6)

As I was thinking about and journaling my thoughts about verse 11, God changed the verse to say, "By faith Karen, even though..."

Wow! I thought of the promises that I have felt God giving me and how even though they seemed impossible at the time, God had brought them about. I also thought of the promises I am still waiting to be realized and some that are being built right now.

Put your name in that sentence and add your "impossibility". By faith, God wants to give us everything that He has promised us in His word. And don't think you have to do everything perfectly, Abraham sure didn't. He made a lot of mistakes. God is the faithful one, let's live like we believe Him!
