BELIEVING HIS WORD
Faith is a trust solely and exclusively used to describe two
phenomena in the Bible – God and His word. These phenomena lift us above our
own abilities into God’s possibilities. Abraham had faith in God and
experienced possibilities beyond his capability.
The first step in exercising Biblical faith is putting your
trust in God, “He that changeth not”. Trusting that God will make that miracle
happen is not enough, knowing His word concerning that miracle and believing it
concludes the whole matter. My word will not return void, it will definitely
accomplish the purpose for which it was said. Though it may delay but it will
definitely come to pass.
God’s word is His treasure, more valuable than anything –
the heavens and the earth shall pass away but not His word. Abraham believed
God’s word concerning him. Years passed
. . . until it became medically impossible for his wife to bear a child,
Abraham didn’t doubt God. After he got a son, he didn’t question God when he
was asked to sacrifice his son. That is true faith.
