Genesis 15:10

Another Level of Trust

God made a covenant with Abraham by giving him specific tasks for him to do. When God tells us to do something we have to be completely obedient in the task He gives us. Then we will be blessed.

God told Abraham that his descendants will be enslaved in a foreign land not their own for 400 years and after, they will be blessed.

Waiting for our blessing can be frustrating, but just know after waiting, the blessings that will come will come in abundance.
Abraham waited for so long for God, he fell into a deep sleep, then God spoke to him. When we least expect it or when we forget about things we prayed for, God will send us a sign of reassurance.

Keep looking at God’s track record when you get discouraged. If He did it before He will do it again! Abraham only asked him for a son and God blessed him with descendants like the dust of the earth. So Abraham waiting for 400 years, he knows his dependents will be blessed tremendously after their years of enslavement.

God made the covenant with Abram. Everything he promised him he will give to him. Abraham didn’t have to make the covenant God made it for him. God gave the land to Abraham’s decadents.

When the enemy starts coming to destroy you, that’s when you know the blessings are coming. He comes to steal your joy and bring doubt, but remain faithful in what God can do and will do.

It’s always better than it looks.
