Just BELIEVE

For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed in (trusted in) God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness (right living and right standing with God). ~ Romans 4:3 AMP

Abraham BELIEVED! If you look back over Abraham's life, you will see what great faith he had. The Bible doesn't say he was perfect. It doesn't say he never made mistakes. Abraham is known most because whatever God said, he believed! He believed God and whatever God told him to do, he obeyed.

Many times things didn't make sense and God asked him to do things that seemed absolutely crazy. That didn't matter to Abraham because he trusted God. He knew that God was faithful and true to His Word and whatever God said would come to pass. It was as simple as that. His trust in God was far greater than the need to understand what God was doing. And because he believed Him no matter what, it was accounted to him as righteousness.

Do we have that kind of relationship with God? Do we really trust Him? Do we believe EVERYTHING He tells us? Or do we believe for a while but after we have to wait for any length of time we start thinking that maybe God didn't really mean it. Do we only obey when it makes sense and we think we can figure out what He is doing? Or do we step out full of faith no matter what it is...no matter how foolish it may seem...no matter what anyone thinks of us...no matter if we have no clue where God is taking us?

That's the kind of faith God wants us to have. He wants us to put more trust in Him than we do our natural senses. What He says should be more important than our emotions, how we feel, how things look, or what anyone else says. We should be known as people who BELIEVE God!

What has God asked you to do? Why haven't you done it yet? Why are you letting all the distractions stop you?

What has God said about your situation? Are you standing on His Word? Do you know that His Word will NOT return void? Are you placing more confidence in what He says about this situation or are you allowing everything and everyone else drown out what the Word says?

We have to start seeing through eyes of faith. The truth of God's Word is greater than how our circumstances appear. When He asks us to do something, it's not to make us look foolish. He has a plan! There is a purpose for everything He asks us to do. It may be for our benefit. It may be for someone else's benefit. Regardless of what the plan is, we are choosing to settle for less than God's best when we don't obey. We may be hindering someone else from receiving what the Lord has for them. We may be keeping our hands tied where we can't receive the blessings that God has for us. Don't be concerned about why He is asking you to do something. Simply obey and be an instrument He can use to carry out His plan on this earth!

Strive to be someone who believes God no matter what! Work on developing a personal, intimate relationship with Him. The more you get to know Him, the more you will understand that everything He does is motivated by love. You will know that He has a perfect plan for your life and He wants only the very best for you!
