"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him…"
Before Abraham was, I am, those are powerful words by God who definitely is saying I am not under time but time is what I created, He could've said I was but God did'nt, many times when i was a kid, everytime i make i mistake i always wished i could turn back time, and when i became adolescent i wished I was this and that, you know typical preacher's kid in an emotional roller coaster ride, but you know what, i started to ask God to enlighten me, to take me not out of the box but beyond the box of religion, status quo, comfort zone, i said with a super dooper loud voice then"set me free" and the impossible happened.
I now see......wow.......seeing the invisible.......seeing God.
What looks impossible with man is possible with God.
In the Bible, God told Abraham he would be the father of many nations. But the human us would say, this looked impossible. Both he and his wife were beyond child-bearing years. They had no reason to hope or believe it would happen. They had nothing to go on in the natural. But one translation of this verse says, "Hoping in spite of hopeless circumstances, he believed." And you probably know the story. Abraham finally had a son, Isaac and his son, Jacob had 12 sons—the twelve original tribes of Israel with descendants outnumbering the grains of sand on the shore!
I encourage you to ask God for you to see. Most of the time we just look but we barely see. This time, do what Abraham did and go against all the odds; hope on in faith anyway. Keep believing. Keep praying. Keep moving forward. Don’t focus on the impossible circumstances, focus on the God who makes the impossible possible! Keep looking through your eyes of faith because He has blessing and victory in store for you!
Heavenly Father, today I choose to hope in You even when everything around me looks hopeless. I invite You to breathe Your life into the impossible circumstances around me. Have Your way in and through me as I dedicate every part of my heart and mind to You. In Jesus´ Name, Amen.
