Just By Chance?

What if…just by chance…all of those promises that God included in His Word were really for us?

What if…just by chance…God really did create us for a purpose, with a plan, and he really did want to prosper us?

What if…just by chance…we really could realize all that he had for us, all that he planned for us, all that he created for us to experience?

What if…????

The cemeteries across this great country are filled with people who have entered its gates with that question still ringing in their mind. What if I had done this? What if I had tried that? What if I had truly trusted God’s Word for what it really is? What if I had put my faith in God’s abilities to fulfill what he had promised rather than in my own abilities to figure it out for myself?

The thing that so many people see as a problem that they can’t overcome is that when they finally do step out in a project that requires faith to be fulfilled; they find themselves in a situation that is far from perfect in their mind. In fact, they find themselves in a situation that in their own strength is insurmountable. Well…what they see as a very bad thing, God sees this as a very good thing; if they look to him for the help they inevitably need.

If people always operate within their own strength and abilities they will only achieve things that are within themselves. But when you make the decision to take great steps of faith it leaves the promises that I was alluding to in the first two paragraphs as the very things that you become reliant on. No longer are they promises for the lucky few, rather they become your very source of survival. Most people will never tap into the fullness of these promises because they choose to live their lives within the confines of what they can do for themselves. It is those that make the decision to step outside of those limitations and into the freedom of living in the everlasting promises of God that get to experience the promises.

There is no easy way into this. As long as you have your own solutions sitting at the ready as soon as you need them, you will never experience what it is like to have your answer come to you in the eleventh hour…knowing that if the answer doesn’t come from God you don’t have a spare sitting in the ready.

Total trust and faith in the promises of God. There is nothing so daring and there is nothing so liberating. Make the decision today to experience it for yourself.

Joshua 21:45 – “Not one of all the LORD's good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.”

Joshua 23:14 – “Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed.

1 Kings 8:56 – “Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.”
Have a blessed day,
