The Promise Is Yours

"For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise." Hebrews 6:13-15

Hebrews 6:18 tells us that it is "impossible for God to lie". Therefore it is important for us to stop constantly questioning/doubting God. If God made you a promise know that it will happen. How quickly it happens is dependent upon us. Remember, God promised the children of Israel that they would inherit the promise land, but they delayed the promise 40 years by their lack of faith. Lacking faith is the same thing as calling God a liar. If God made you a promise rest in it and endure as Abraham endured. If you are afraid lean on Philippians 4:6-7, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Do not let the enemy distract you with fear, instead cling to the promise. If you are facing a challenge to your faith, take a moment and read Genesis 22. Abraham didn't hesitate in placing Isaac upon the altar because he had confidence in the promise God had made to him. God promised him a son and numerous heirs. Abraham knew that no matter the path he was told to walk the outcome would be the same. He would have a son and heirs. God honored Abraham's faith and rewarded him with even greater blessings. When doubt creeps in meditate on the promise Jesus made to those of us who believe, "If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it." John 14:14
