(From the preaching June 23.)
Life challenge when we ask God specific what we want and which door He open.
Genesis 15:1-5;
1,«After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, «Do not be afraid, Abram I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.» 2,But Abram said, «Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damscus?» 3,Then Abram said, «Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!» 4,And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, «This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.» 5, Then He brought him outside and said, «Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you able to number them.» And He said to him, «So shall your descendants be.»
What do we do when things doesn’t go like we want? Have God told you something that you are still waiting on? How does God’s challenge you? And does God challenge you like he challenged Abraham?
Are you trusting God and God’s plan, when things aren’t going like you thought? Are you standing there and asking «where did you go God?» Just because you don’t feel God?
What does the Hebrew letter say to us?
Hebrew 6:13, 6:19.
6:13; «For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself»
6:19; «This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the evil.»
Where are your anchor?
Who is your anchor?
Are you trusting God and His plan for your life?
Why do we fear God and don’t trust ourselves? Because we don’t trust God enough.
How and what do we do with the covenant we have to and with God?
Make sure that the anchor fall totally down to the bottom. Make sure that the anchor do it’s purpose in your life!
Does your faith endure challenges?
Do you trust God?
My thoughts….
I know I trust God. I reminding myself of the fact that I have to put all my life into his hand if my life is gonna to work. If I don’t trust my Heavenly Father I don’t know how my life would look like. Well I know it wouldn’t look like it do right now.
This preaching has enough questions to read this more then twice! Which I hope you do. Sit down somewhere you feel you can get some input from God. Think over those questions, see if you can answer them right away or if you actually need some time maybe days. It’s not an easy answer here!
As far as I know, I know I trust God and give Him my life every day but do I listen to all He says? I believe I miss some of all the things he is trying to tell me. I can be busy with other things or maybe it’s the TV that take “all my attention”?
I want to be challenge of God in my life, I don’t know if I am ready for it all the times though. I believe those questions are important! to live with every day! And I think it’s one of the challenges God has given us.
To be there and listen to him.
To trust him always.
To not fear.
To accept a challenge and learn on the way in our Christian life wherever we are in our journey with Him. ❤
