What steps can we take to strengthen our faith in God's promises? See What God Shows You Genesis 13:15 says, “for all the land that you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever.” • Abram’s first assignment was to lift his eyes and look. • Strengthen faith by opening Scripture daily and letting God set the horizon of your thoughts. • Refuse to let news feeds, feelings, or fears define what is possible when God has spoken. Trace the Promise Line Through Scripture • Follow God’s pledge to Abram all the way to Christ: Genesis 17:8; Galatians 3:29. • Note how Joshua 21:45 testifies, “Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.” • Seeing past fulfillments builds confidence for present needs. Remember Who Made the Promise • Hebrews 10:23 reminds us that “He who promised is faithful.” • Romans 4:20-21 shows Abram “fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.” • Faith grows when we rehearse God’s character—unchanging, all-powerful, truth-telling. Respond with Obedient Action • After seeing the land, Abram walked through it (Genesis 13:17). • Take the next practical step that aligns with God’s word—serve, give, reconcile, testify—before you see the outcome. • Obedience turns abstract belief into lived reality, reinforcing trust. Speak the Promise Out Loud • 2 Corinthians 1:20: “For all the promises of God are ‘Yes’ in Christ.” • Verbalizing Scripture counters doubt and engraves truth on the heart (Romans 10:17). • Post verses where you pray, drive, or work; declare them until they shape your perspective. Guard Your Heart in the Waiting • Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.” • Watch for discouragement, comparison, and impatience—common faith-thieves. • Replace them with worship playlists, thankful recounting of past mercies, and fellowship with believers who point you back to God’s faithfulness. Celebrate Each Fulfillment • When even a small piece of God’s promise unfolds, mark it. • Abram built altars (Genesis 13:18); you might journal, share a testimony, or simply pause to praise. • Celebration cements memory, turning fulfilled promises into fresh fuel for the next step of faith. |
