HE WILL

” I am God Almighty: walk before Me, and be blameless. I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.” GENESIS 17:1-2, EMPHASIS ADDED 

Do not miss the pivotal words in the covenant between the Lord and Abraham: “I will.” From the beginning, God took the full responsibility for fulfilling His promise. It was up to Him to give Abraham a son and multiply his descendants.

Have you asked the Father to help you in some area? Is His answer taking longer than you expected? Does the attainment of your hope seem impossible? Don’t make the terrible mistake of taking matters into your own hands. Sarah did so by offering her maidservant Hagar to Abraham, and Israel is still suffering because of her impatience.

Rather, remember that it’s “God who accomplishes all things” for you (Psalm 57:2). Abraham’s only responsibility was to follow the Lord obediently, and the same is true for you.

So stop trying to handle everything on your own. It’s His responsibility. Trust that the Father has wondrous plans for your life and that He will bring them about.

Lord, thank You for taking full responsibility. Help me walk obediently and trust Your perfect plan, amen.

In His presence… trust that He will fulfill His promises.
