S - Genesis 15:6 And Abram believed the LORD, and the LORD counted him as righteous because of his faith.
7 Then the LORD told him, “I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as your possession.”
8 But Abram replied, “O Sovereign LORD, how can I be sure that I will actually possess it?”
O - Reading through verse 8 is very interesting that the Lord looked at Abram as righteous because of his faith. However, the verses immediately following this declaration of righteousness, Abram then questions whether or not the Lord will really give him the land that He promised. Quite a flip from one verse to the next.
A - This shows me that even men of extreme faith like Abraham had moments where there was some doubt or fear. Clearly God thought that Abraham had a great amount of faith to consider him righteous, but still needed further proof that what God said would really take place. I need to be that same man of faith that Abraham was but also need to realize that there may be times still that I have fear or doubt, since I too like Abrahm am not perfect, but also like Abraham I need to press God for further clarification as to His plans for me. Hearing from Him makes the faith process much easier.
P - God, I open my heart and life to you today and ask that you speak into my life. I desire to have a huge amount of faith in everything that you have said and have promised my family and me. Help me during those times that I may be wavering or questioning the plans that you have for me and help me to understand that there are periods in my life that I may need to have more faith until everything comes to pass as you desire. Bless my family and me today.
