What You Need to Know If God Asks For the Impossible

Abram (later renamed Abraham) was a man God decided to use to lay down the foundation of how man and God would walk together. He’s actually called by many, “The Father of Faith.” Among the words that come out of the story, some are “faith” and “covenant,” or promise.
God entered into a covenant relationship with Abraham and his family for all generations to come. But before that promise was made, God spoke to him. God is a God who speaks. He gives us His spoken word, and He also now gives us His written word.
Listen to God’s first words to Him. Can you imagine God speaking to you and saying, “Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house to the land that I will show you.” (Gen. 12:1)
It’s pretty clear to me that when God speaks, He wants us to believe and then go for it. It’s not easy – after all God often seems to speak about things that we might not even conceive as possible.
  • “I’m going to make a great nation out of you – even though you don’t have any children at all and you’re over 90 years old.”
  • “I’m going to bless all the nations of the world through you.”
  •  Or, “Your descendants will number more than the stars in the heavens.”
That was Abraham’s story. Sometimes, Abraham seemed to believe God easily; sometimes he laughed. But always …God’s word came to pass.
What is God saying to you? And how are you taking it?
