Get Out Of The Mud – Genesis 12 - [LIFE] - Brent Phillips - Encounter Houston
Genesis 12:1-4 "The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran."
Just like Abram, we are all a promise in the making. God has a purpose and calling on our life. When we first have revelation of that calling we are all for it. It seems like nothing can get in the way of that calling on our life. But as time goes on… our perspective changes, it gets foggy.
Genesis 15:1-3 "Some time later, the Lord spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.” But Abram replied, “O Sovereign Lord, what good are all your blessings when I don’t even have a son? Since you’ve given me no children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household, will inherit all my wealth. You have given me no descendants of my own, so one of my servants will be my heir."
In Genesis 15 we see that Abram begins to question God and His faithfulness, and many of us have been in similar situations before. We question His character and if He will really come through on His promises for our life?
Why does this happen? How do we get to a place of doubt? The problem is that we allow time to determine if Gods promises are true or not. God will not be limited by our time frame. God is rewriting our names to live up to who it is that He has created us to be in His perfect timing..
Isaiah 40:30 "Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion."
If you have found yourself stuck in the mud of disappointment, regret, not waiting for Gods timing. Don’t give up. Get out of the mud. Know that you are going to fail, you are going to fall down, you will make mistakes, and you are going to grow weary. But this is not the end of your story. God has a plan for you and He wants to take you further than you can ever imagine.
