New Beginnings, Day 15

Abram believed. Read Genesis chapter 15.

We have read so much of Abram’s story already, it’s interesting to realize that this is truly the first time that Abram says he believes. We have seen Abram act through trust and faith in God, and we know that he understands that God has a plan for him. But, this is the first time that we truly see him express his belief in God.

We can be going through the motions and understanding in our head that there is a plan, but are we willing to come to the place where we truly believe God’s plan for us? It can be really difficult to balance that faith and fear when we don’t understand exactly what God is doing. But God’s plan is not contingent upon our understanding. We can simply be obedient. Abram didn’t completely understand God’s plan but he believed it, and he was obedient to it. Does that describe us today?
