Having a Heart To Follow God

Abraham went on a journey with God.   He didn't know where he was going, he just had a promise from God and followed as God lead.  There are some of you today this is all you got and how you have been living your life.     You got a promise from God and you just been following along.   Abraham was promised a son, and land flowing with milk and honey, descendants that would be as numerous as the stars...And NONE of that was coming to pass as he walked along.   But he was running into a lot of problems.   Family  problems between him and Lot.   Relational problems between him and his wife as she got more frustrated at nothing working out and not getting pregnaunt.  Territorial problems in that he couldn't find a place to rest, wandering around in make shift tents not really finding a place to settle in and build his life.    Sarai and Hagar fighting and fussing...and the list goes on and on and on and on...There are people right now, and they are reading this and you are facing similar things that Abraham faced.   You got God's promises.  You got God's dreams and visions.  You have laid down your life and followed what God wanted.   But none of the promises are coming to pass and everywhere you look you got problems.  And you about to give up.  Listen to me child of God.  Abraham was no different than you are today, and God made  him the Father of many nations, he is one of the most celebrated people that ever lived on this planet.   The only reason is because he didn't give up.  He kept believing even when nothing wasn't working and nothing was happening and nothing was coming to pass.  And because he believed God, this was what made him the Father of our faith.   Maybe that promise of God and your comittment to that promise is all you got.  Hang on to it child.  This is all that Abraham had to, and God raised  him up!   Praise God!
