God bless! 

      Today's verse is about the life of Abraham. What a faith full testimony was the life of Abraham. Think about it, one day you are living life as normal and the next day you are packing up to go "somewhere". Not to mention so many other testimonies in his life. With the discomfort of the move he arrives to a location and gets nothing except a promise. Now to most these days a promise means just about nothing but the same does not apply to God. God speaks only what WILL happen. He doesn't tell you something simply to appease you, He tells you things that He has already put things in position for "it" to be fulfilled. That's right, He doesn't speak then act, He acts then He proclaims. Whatever you and I are waiting on that He has promised is going to happen. The catch is that it's at His time and not ours. Trust me I want it just as bad as you do but trying to force His promise will only make us grow frustrated and allow our faith to diminish. I end with saying His promise in our lives is real and will be completed but like Abraham we have to wait on His perfect timing.

Holding on to His promise.

Pastor Joell

Yet He gave him no inheritable property in it, [no] not even enough ground to set his foot on; but He promised that He would give it to Him for a permanent possession and to his descendants after him, even though [as yet] he had no child. [Gen. 12:7; 17:8; Deut. 2:5.] (Acts 7:5 AMP)
