"I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will find blessing in you." Genesis 12:2-3
Why do we let fear and doubt interfere with our relationship with God? God sends us forth into the world with a mission. We are exuberant and go but then something happens, maybe it isn't going as we had thought. Maybe we neglect God, maybe we take things into our own hands and go our own way. Abram did just that, he forgot that God would bless him and curse those who came against him. Abram's plan caused: "But the LORD struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife." Genesis 12:17. We are to live our faith even with fear and doubt, we are to honor and praise God all the time and we are to follow His commandments, if not?. God wants to use you to reach those who are following false gods, His plan is always better.
What is God saying to me: Listen to My voice, be obedient to all My instructions.
Dear Father, we are blessed this morning to walk with You and listen to Your will and instructions. Help us understand that living the faith isn't done when we are comfortable but all the time. Our lack of faith does not allow You to shine thru and change the hearts and minds of those who do not know You. Use us God to reach the lost, and help live out our calling in life with You at the lead. Prayers for a friend who is dealing with pain, heal them Lord and give them peace and comfort. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Saints, Pray for us.
