"He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever He promises"
Romans 4:21 NLT
Abraham was fully convinced that what God had told him would happen. he never doubted for a moment and, because of this, he received the blessing. Many men and women of God are serving Him now totally relying on His promises to provide for them (Matthew 6:33). One notable example was a man called James Hudson-Taylor. He started his working life training to be a chemist, but soon felt the call of God to serve Him. When his training was completed he eventually went to China as a missionary. He had no money and was totally reliant on God, who had sent Him. Taking Matthew 6:33 as his baseline he wrote in his diary: ‘If we can only wait right up to the time, God cannot lie, God cannot forget. He is pledged to supply all our need" Such was Hudson-Taylor's faith and trust in God. He totally believed His Word and nothing would convince him to the contrary. His dream was to obey Jesus and, if He was meant to be there, he knew God would finance this dream. And He did. There were many testing times though, times when many would give up but, Hudson-Taylor never did and he was blessed for it. He was fulfilling his dream.
And this was the same for Abraham. God had told him that he would be the father of many nations and, he and Sarah would have their own son despite being very elderly. Abraham would not give up on this dream and because of this, Abraham received God's promise.
What is your dream? Has God promised you something that is probably beyond belief? If so, you need to hang on to this and pray it in. Don't ever be tempted to give up on this dream. If God said it, then it will happen. Don’t talk yourself out of it because you have been waiting a long time and nothing has happened yet. Just believe and it will come. If you have shared this with another person, don't be surprised if they try to talk you out of it, 'It's not going to happen. You need to consider that you have it wrong. God didn't promise you this.' If you are convinced that God said this to you then. don't believe the lie; remain totally convinced that what God told you, he will bring about.
Many people who speak this way to you, are caring and well-meaning people. They don't want to see you made a figure of gossip. But remember, God said this to you, not them. So as I have said, if you are convinced then, keep believing, don't give up on your dream. When it will come I don't know but, if he said it, it will happen. Your dream will be fulfilled.
As we saw yesterday, there are doers and talkers. If you are totally convinced then, you are a doer so, get ready to live your dream
