Patience Is a Virtue: Genesis 24:10-21

Genesis

Patience Is a Virtue: Genesis 24:10-21

Life is best lived when our prayers lead us to participating in God’s will.  Unfortunately, we tend to be in a hurry to accomplish our goals.  It’s not uncommon for us to rush God’s provision and get out in front of His work.  If we’re not

Relationship with God: Genesis 24:1-9

Genesis

Relationship with God: Genesis 24:1-9

Part of being in relationship with God is desiring for the people around us to have a relationship with God as well.  Certainly, no two people have the same relationship with God.  We have different needs, joys, and thoughts.  While our relationship with God may be unique to us, we

The Story Moves On: Genesis 23:17-20

Genesis

The Story Moves On: Genesis 23:17-20

There are pros and cons to most things in this world.  Few things in life are solely good or completely evil.  The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil, but some money is necessary to pay bills and pay for necessities.  Children can be an

Among the Hittites: Genesis 23:3-16

Genesis

Among the Hittites: Genesis 23:3-16

When God calls us into relationship, He does it knowing our witness affects how people see Him as well.  There are people in the world who don’t believe in God because they see so little in those who claim to follow Him.  There are other people in the world

Sarah's Death: Genesis 23:1-2

Genesis

Sarah's Death: Genesis 23:1-2

We walk in hope at all times.  Platitudes like this are powerful yet easy to forget.  Only 23 chapters into God’s Word and we already have dozens of examples of God’s ability to walk with us through life.  We have great reason to walk in hope regardless of

Trust Brings Results: Genesis 22:15-24

Genesis

Trust Brings Results: Genesis 22:15-24

Because we know God’s character, we can step into that trust and discover His blessing upon our life.  He can make life out of nothing.  He can turn evil into good.  There is nothing impossible for Him.  We can trust Him. God comes to Abraham a second time through

Trust: Genesis 22:9-14

Genesis

Trust: Genesis 22:9-14

We can all trust God because we know His character.  God does not disappoint.  He does not lead us astray.  Even if we cannot envision the result, we follow God’s lead because we know who He is. Abraham and Isaac continue to the place where God indicated.  The wood

To the Mountain: Genesis 22:4-8

Genesis

To the Mountain: Genesis 22:4-8

Faithful people understand when God makes a request, He provides the means for it to be accomplished.  God does not leave us unprepared.  He does not ask the unskilled.  He does not call the unqualified.  When God asks, He goes before us and prepares the way. After several days of

God's Trial: Genesis 22:1-3

Genesis

God's Trial: Genesis 22:1-3

God’s trials are designed to teach us about our faith within.  When we are challenged, we learn who we are.  Under the application of stress, we grow.  Anyone can live when life is easy; it is challenge that evokes more interesting things. God comes to Abraham.  Abraham replies, “Here

Genesis

The Everlasting God: Genesis 21:25-34

Only an everlasting God can thrive in the desert.  We often find places of worship to the gods near great resources.  There are all kinds of gods in rivers, jungles, forests, plains, and mountains.  There are far fewer gods in arid and desert locales.  Who goes to the desert to

Abimelech's Treaty: Genesis 21:22-24

Genesis

Abimelech's Treaty: Genesis 21:22-24

People remember how we treat them.  Most are willing to overlook small social gaffes and personality quirks.  If we treat people harshly enough – sometimes even once – they may become cautious around us and perhaps lose trust completely.  It is easy to understand why God calls us to love others.  When

Hidden Faith: Genesis 21:15-21

Genesis

Hidden Faith: Genesis 21:15-21

It's amazing how much evidence of faith is found if we take the time to look for it.  Faith is the stoic trait that doesn’t need the spotlight but supports everything else.  Faith is easily overlooked, but in those who know God, it is always present. There
