God Will Show

God will show YOU where to go. God will give YOU “land.”

God will bless YOU.

God will give YOU a new name.

But, YOU gotta be willing to get out of your comfort zone & feel some pain.

⠀

To start a new journey YOU not only have to recognize that YOU don’t want to stay where YOU are, YOU have to reflect, to see, to feel what YOU are missing.

⠀

What is YOUR famine?

What do YOU need?

What is YOUR desire?

What do YOU believe?

⠀

These chapters cover a 25 year period. (Genesis 12-17) They share a very complicated journey, w/complex people & problems.

⠀

These people pray to God, but sometimes they don’t understand & depend on their own reasoning rather than waiting & relying on God.

⠀

Abram, Sarai & Lot desired change. They were willing to get out of their comfort zone to have a better life & receive greater blessings from God.

They are learning as they struggled in real time. I couldn’t help think of me/you/us on a journey; learning.

⠀

I think when we make a mess, we receive a message in the things we can’t undo, developing faith that God will look out for me & you.

⠀

As WE seek for truth & righteousness. WE will go through some challenges & battles BUT, WE are never alone & shouldn’t feel lonely; God sent Their one & only Begotten Son; The Lord, Jesus Christ.

⠀

The Lord will guide & give instructions; the Lord will intervene.

⠀

Pray for strength.

The road ahead won’t be easy.

⠀

The Lord will ask you for a sacrifice & He will sacrifice too.

⠀

Sacrifices & trust will need to be made in order to conquer & change.

⠀

Abram was asked to lie in order to survive.

⠀

Sarai was asked to submit.

⠀

Lot turned his tent towards Sodom, was lost & enslaved.

⠀

Sarai took things into her own hands & gave Abram her slave.

⠀

Hagar wanted to leave.

Everything was messy & the Lord intervened & still gave blessings.

⠀

The Lord told Abram much; his seeds would be blessed, numberless.

⠀

Abram asked the Lord what he should do. The Lord would required another sacrifice from him & his wife.

The Lord commanded them to walk before Him perfectly, yet He knows they are imperfect, and so are we.

⠀

Through the Lord’s atoning sacrifice, WE are saved. Through our covenants, He gives us a new name.
