Our study today in Genesis brings us to one of the great promises of God: I will be with You. I hope we can understand what that means in Genesis 26, throughout the Bible, and what it means for us here today. So, turn to Genesis 26.

Last week we learned that God is comfortable with our discomfort. It can be a way of testing our faith, our obedience. And today we will see that God does test. God tested Abraham and is going to test you; you, me, all of us. It is not a multiple-choice, or true/false test. We’re not going to guess our way to a right answer. As a matter of fact, probably the hardest tests you have ever taken, whether you even know you are being tested, were given by God.

In Genesis 12 and 15 Abram is called Abram, but when we read the passage in Romans 4, he’s called Abraham. Why the name change? Also, from Romans 4, Paul describes Abraham as never wavering in his faith, so what is going on when he jumps the gun and has a child with Hagar. Good questions in which the answers have some real value to our faith walk today.

If God took the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus, which was the most wicked act conducted in the history of mankind and used it for His glory, the same thing is true for anything else we may go through in this world. God is sovereign and in complete control. God is able.
