A Lesson from Abraham DN


In my devotion this morning, although My mind is a tad slow ( well it's more than just a tad ) I was needing the Lord to speak to me, and He did. I thought it might be a blessing to someone else. 
It's Been said,
No desire will ever be placed in you by the Holy Spirit unless He intends to fulfill it. So let your faith rise up and soar away to claim all the land you can discover. 
S. A. Keen
Genesis 13:14-15 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
1) Abraham's Challenge: 14a (after Lot had left )
Life has it challenges, does it not?
Some of the greatest will be with one's family.
Lot, Abrahams nephew, had made Abrahams journey challenging. 
In fact, instead of getting on with his journey, Abraham was constantly having to deal with Lot. 
Rescuing him from the kings of of Sodom to Dealing with the strive between his herdsmen and Lot's herdsmen.
The lesson here for us, Accepting God's will and promises for us has its challenges. Those things that we deal with, that have nothing to do with the will of God in which we are pursuing.
2) Abraham's Command: ( lift up now ... )
All that you see ...north south east west
If you can see it it's yours, even if you can't see it , it's yours...not just yours, but your seed forever .
Lift up, don't be afraid to look!
It can be fearful, when you look up and see where God wants to take you, yea! at what God wants to give you. 
Do not let the uncertainty or the distance between you and God's promises hinder you. 
Jesus told Martha, did I not say unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God.
3) Abrahams Certainty: God said, I will give it! 
My the surety found in those words. Has God moved you toward some task. Some event demanding faith and leaning on his strong arm?
If he has, just step forward and lean on his unfailing promises. 
God who can not lie, will bring it to past!
