How do we pray? What examples do we follow? We look at the life of Abraham when he prayed for Sodom to be saved.
Will you run ahead or wait on God? Wait for his timing or enforce yours?
How do you view the future? Through a positive or negative lens?
God always rejoices when we dare to dream. In fact, we are much like God when we dream. The Master exults in newness. He delights in stretching the old. He wrote the book on making the impossible possible.
This famine was Abraham’s first real test and we can also experience similar situations, everything is going well in our faith and then a ‘famine’ hits e.g. a death, lose your job, illness.
In verses 2-3 we see that Abraham was blessed to be a blessing and each of us are also blessed by God to be a blessing. If we take on this principle in our own lives then all things are possible.
We often think we have limits or lids on our lives e.g. finances, health etc. but in 2020 at Hope we want to think about how all things are possible.
We all struggle with unanswered prayers in some way to some extent in our lives. Don’t doubt that God is our loving father, for who nothing is impossible.
