Trusting God's promises
Genesis 15:5-7 (NASB)
5 And He (GOD) took him (Abram) outside and said, "Now look toward the
heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He
said to him, "So shall your descendants be."
6 Then he believed in the LORD: and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.
7 And He said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the
Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it."
++++++++++
God had promised Abram a son. But he was nearly 100 and no son! God
reminded him of His promise and told him count the stars if possible,
and that would be how many descendents he could expect! Abram believed
(without seeing) and God counted it as righteousness.
The challenge: God has given many promises to His people. Will we
believe and live in hope, or will we fret and fuss about the things
happening in our life?
Trust God! He has promised!
