Bible Verse of The Day – 12-12-12

(Genesis 12:1 NKJV)  Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you… 12:4  So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Go into a land that I will show you.

Can you imagine God speaking to you right where you are, at this moment in time, and telling you to leave and go away, but then not telling you where to go to?

How many of us would trust God enough to actually do what He tells us to do?

I believe that no matter where we think we’re at in our walk with God, if He told us to leave and go somewhere, but He didn’t tell us where we were to go, we would probably freak out and run the other way.

Faith can be a funny thing. So many times we think we’re walking in faith. We’re sailing through life and sincerely believing we are walking by faith, but then something unexpected comes our way and suddenly our “faith walk” stumbles and falls down!

Faith isn’t something that we can easily define or understand. It’s something that comes as we move forward with God and learn to trust Him. But it is something that we can ask God to help us grow.

Let’s ask God to help us grow our faith.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 2-23-12

(Jer 1:5 NKJV) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

God does prepare. He prepared Jeremiah; He formed, He sanctified, and He ordained him.

We may feel that God wants to use us to do something big, but we talk ourselves out of it, thinking that we aren’t good enough or that we don’t have what it takes to do the job. Look at Noah; God gave Him clear-cut directions when he was called to build the Ark. (Gen 6:14-21 NKJV)  If God gives us something to do, He will make sure we have what it takes to do the job. We just have to follow His commands.

Moses was kind of funny when God asked him to go and free his children of Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians. He tried to get out of it by saying he couldn’t speak well. (Exo 4:10 NKJV) Then Moses said to the LORD, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

But, God didn’t buy it. He had Moses bring his brother Aaron with him because Aaron could speak well. Nevertheless, Moses still went on to do as God commanded him to do.

Know that if God is calling you into something that He will prepare you. Take a step of faith today and say yes to Him. He will train you and prepare you. He will help you as you lean on Him for direction. As you trust Him, He will guide you. He will not leave us to do it on our own, but He will be right there every step of the way.

You may already be in a place that God wants to use you to help someone get free. Don’t run from it, but press in and pursue God’s plan.
