Believe Like Abraham

“Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.” Galatians 3:6-7

God seems to remind me regularly that it is faith, not works that leads to righteousness. James 2:20 does say that “faith without works is useless” and really, the two go hand in hand. Abraham didn’t just believe he acted according to his belief. He did things that regularly demonstrated His faith in God from leaving his country for a better land to his willingness to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice to God. Are you exercising your own measure of faith today? Are you asking God regularly to increase that measure so that you might believe as Abraham did when he looked at God’s promises instead of his circumstances? You can believe God to perform according to His will and His plan in your life and in the lives of your loved ones just as He did for Abraham.

In case you’ve forgotten, God promised Abraham and Sarah a son and even though they were well past childbearing years Abraham believed God instead of the circumstance. As believers we are subject to the same blessings as Abraham! What do you need to believe Him for today?
