God used a man named Abraham mightily. Abraham was special because he loved God and was willing to be obedient to Him. The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; Genesis 12:1, 4. Abraham believed that God’s plan was best, and he obeyed him.
So God gave him some wonderful promises.
(a) I will make you a great nation, and
(b) I will make your name great, and so
(c) You shall be a blessing.
(d) I will bless those who bless you and the one who curses you I will curse, and
(e) In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
The world in which we live give Fear, Disobedience, and Discouragement. These enemies seem too large and strong. God wants you to depend on Jesus to do for you what you cannot do for yourself. He is adequate for your every need. God had already planned everything for you. He said, “Now don’t be afraid for the Lord thy God will be with thee wherever thou goest.” God expects His children to be so confident in Him that in any crisis they are the reliable ones—the ones who do not panic. The Israelites were plenty. They must have water; they must have food. They must have a place to camp; the soldiers must be ready to do battle, for there were enemies to be conquered in the new land to which they were going. There was a deep and wide river to be crossed. There were no bridges. There were no boats. The enemies in this new land were exceedingly wicked. Was there any way we can conquer such things? Yes. God helped the children of Israel to stand against everything in the land. Today for us God is there to fight against all our problems and encounter in our lives day by day. Even if we believe that only God’s plan is best, then we would also inherit every blessing in our life because our God is ABLE.
