"...Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
Believe. That is what our christian faith is anchored upon. It is amazing how easily at times we fail to remind ourselves that. We allow the complication of life anxieties, circumstances, pressures and cares of this world choked out this perspective of having to simply believe. God has a wonderful way of reminding us that He alone is sufficient. He is simple, we are the complicated ones. All Jesus wanted was our total trust and allegiance to Him. That was the only thing Abraham held onto - his faith, his belief. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God and being FULLY convinced that what He had promised, He was also able to perform.
What a great man of faith. No wonder God calls Abraham His friend. As I meditate on this, I felt the assurance and peace of God. It is a revelation unveiling before me again.
