“But God did not give Abraham any of this land, not even a foot of it. But God promised that in the future he would give Abraham this land for himself and for his children. This was before Abraham had any children.”
Acts 7:5 ERV
Acts 7:5 ERV
Make sure you understand that when you trust in God, totally trust in God, you will not see the answers to all your prayers this side of heaven. Abraham lived in a tent while he was here on earth. The multitudes of descendants were not seen this side of heaven. Most of the things God promised him were in the future.
When we ask God to answer our prayers and he doesn’t answer it instantly, we get mad at God. We decide that he is not all powerful and all loving and all kind. Let’s pray and learn to wait like a grownup Christian. A baby Christian wants instant answers, instant understanding.
I want faith like Abraham. When God made promises, Abraham believed him. It was a settled issue. And he was willing to wait.
