Grace for your spirit January 12, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to a man one hundred years old? And wil Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child? And Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you!" Genesis 17:17-18

God asked Abraham to do many difficult things. You see a pattern that when Abraham saw that the request was within his own power, he would gladly do it. When God asked him to do the improbable or impossible,, he doubted. Most of the time he only thought his doubts, but didn't speak them. I guess he thought he was hiding his doubts from God,,and then he would say something that he hoped God would approve. As Abraham's faith was being built, he had many private doubts, until he realized that God knew his heart as well as his talk. Our faith will start strengthening when we realize God knows our thoughts and doubts, not just what we say to please Him. God is able whenever we are willing. Let's commit to walk by faith, not by sight.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
