God keeps His promises. He has communicated to people down through
history. Some have had a special place in His plan. He made promises to
them and He kept them, even when the people failed in trusting Him.
Abraham is just such a person.
Outline:
God makes God-sized promises to His people: When God speaks to people He
often promises so much that we have a hard time believing those
promises.
The LORD is always faithful, no matter the degree of our unfaithfulness:
Living a life of faith doesn’t mean we are perfect in our trust. We are
imperfect trusters. We stumble and fall. We falter and sputter as we
learn to trust. But when we do trust, the LORD shows Himself mighty.
Sometimes God calls us to do seemingly impossible things: Abraham is
called to do something very few people on the planet would be willing to
do. And yet, because of his history with the LORD’s faithfulness, he
steps out and trusts, even when it doesn’t seem to make sense.
Trusting God can be the most difficult thing to do: When the LORD asks
us to trust Him, we need to trust Him, no matter how hard it seems.
