Knowing there's an ocean because you've seen a stream, is an example of faith."Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, Understand then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. The scripture fore saw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announce the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you." So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith."
Galatians 3:5-9 (NIV)
Have you ever thought about the faith of Abraham? He rarely strayed far from God's will. Usually he got into trouble trying to rush God's will. God loved Abraham so much because his heart belonged to God. He genuinely wanted to Please God.
"To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless," Psalm 18:25 (NIV)
"As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless.
His a shield for all who take refuge in Him." Psalm 18:30
"I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all the nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
Because Jesus came, lived , died and rose again the number of believers and followers are like the grains on a seashore. I couldn't count all the grains in a handful of sand. Imagine a whole seashore of believers, that's one big family of God! Aren't you glad God opened your eyes of faith, He knew you'd be His in your mother's womb. :) That's our God; a God worth living for!
Knowing you have an awesome God because you've seen Him work in your life and in the lives of the people you love, is an example of faith in God!
