A Big Trust
Read Genesis 17-18

Gen 18:13-14 Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.”

THE LORD God is persistent in accomplishing his will with those whom he chooses. Trust him. He’ll get done what he wants to get done.
Like Sarah, we may doubt his ability to do so. We may question why he wants to use us. We may think we’re the wrong person for the job. But God knows what he wants to do, and he makes it happen.
The hard part is letting go of our doubts and being confident in a future God has ordained. Sometimes the future looks dark or out of reach. We live in certain circumstances for so long that change becomes impossible to see.
But God can see the future. He can see the light piercing the darkness and his promises coming into your life. He can picture it perfectly, and he will bring it to reality in spite of us.
So let’s go into today, tomorrow, with trust. Work at letting go of your doubts and suspicions. Release from your mind life’s limitations, and open yourself to God’s will for you.
I know. It’s not easy to do. But it’s worth it. Celebrating each day with God is a true delight. Let him guide you, walk with you, encourage you, instruct you and be close to you. Going with God, your future will be very, very bright in him.


Pause and Consider: that God may be opening new possibilities for you.
