How much our Father and His Son love us! They have given us all things for life and godliness. Resting in their love we are safe and peaceful while the storms blow all around. The great storm is arriving, cling with all your strength to the Rock! His promises are rock sure - rock solid. I choose to believe them and thank Him that He is fulfilling and will fulfill them. I praise Him for fulfilling them before I see them fulfilled. When I mix faith with the word it becomes living and creative - the two must be mixed - God's word with my faith. God gave Abraham a promise and he mixed faith with it! What did that look like? Abraham BELIEVED GOD! He was FULLY persuaded that what God had promised, He was able also to perform and this faith was accounted righteousness! It was right thinking because Abraham agreed with God and God is right - He is true, He doesn't lie!
The greatest problem is unbelief, which was Abraham's problem - not believing God and then legalism - trying to do the work himself outside of God - as if! Distrust of God's word - cut the Jews off from Him, cuts me off from him. We enter God's kingdom by faith. Unbelief shuts us out. The Christian's warfare is the fight to believe, to trust His word over my own understanding! I wrestle to believe his promises and when I thank Him for fulfilling them as He has promised, then he floods me with his peace and He does His miracles! Father shifts my focus from myself and what I do - to Him and what He has done and will do!
What good what great and wonderful news! His promises are that He has not forsaken or left us - He is with us at the end of the world. He who began a good work in me - HE will be faithful to complete it! He always gives me victory and He will keep me from falling! He who is shining on us, will cause us to arise and shine that glory over the nations. Praise and thank Him for his wonderful works!
