Patience
I would say that my three year old trusts me and Delia as we have been faithful to her for 3 years.
We have provided clothing, shelter, food, and most importantly electronics to her.
When we tell her that something is going to happen she is most definitely going to believe it!
One day while going to the dollar store she asked me for some Mentos.
I first checked the price and then said yes!
I didn’t allow her to eat it because she had yet to eat dinner, but her focus was on that candy!
Dinner came and went and I forgot!
The next day I pick her up from daycare and she asks me about the Mentos and I say “sure you can have them!” and guess what I FORGOT!
The weekend comes and I have gone at least three days not keeping my promise and she asks “Now can I have the candy?”.
Knowing how important my word is I tell her she can eat the whole thing!
And she chooses to share with her sisters!
Her patient waiting on the promise was not only a blessing to her but a blessing to her sisters!
I am truly thankful that we serve a God who is better at keeping promises than myself.
But the thing is that we My three year old is all about her business!
When she wants something that we won’t immediately give her we tend to let her know what takes priority over her need.
She could say something like “I want a Slurpee!”.
We will let her know “Tessah You must first get dressed, eat breakfast, eat lunch, and then you can have one either before or after dinner.”
We make her a promise and even though I understand that it is hard for her to wait, the quality of her waiting will either ruin or make her day.
She has handled her waiting like any of us has.
She can be irritable in her waiting, asking over and over again when is it her time for her promise to come.
And in those times she may undo her promise!
But there is on occasion times when she waits properly.
She receives her prize and has a new outlook on life!
Most of us have had to endure a position we didn’t love in order to attain the one that required experience.
We have had to...
We have even had to wait patiently at Chick-Fil-A & Popeyes to see which sandwich was better!
Over the course of the past few weeks we have taken a good look at what it means to run this race of faith!
We have examined the great cloud of witnesses and have saw what each one had to offer in regard to a running tip for us to run our race better!
And today is no different!
Today we take a look at the patriarch Abraham who had so much faith that it needed TWO sermons!
In this sermon we will examine what the word of God has to say about his waiting faith.
The waiting faith of Abraham doesn’t ask the question “How can this be?” his waiting faith asks “How shall this be?”
“By faith Abraham, when he was called...”
to call- to urgently invite someone to accept responsibilities for a particular task, implying a new relationship to the one who does the calling.
to understand the call of Abraham see
Hearing this the average person would ask “Are you sure?”
But Abraham obeyed...
Inheritance-
“He went out, even though he did not know where he was going.”
When traveling there are two things I don’t like.
Being lost and asking for directions.
I cannot imagine Abraham left his homeland in faith that he would receive a land that he couldn’t readily find!
That’s Faith!
And I understand that is what we have been discussing this whole series but Abrahams faith is a bit different from the others.
Stay with me.
Abraham was a foreigner!
In land that was promised to HIM!
The only thing that Abraham called his own in the promise land was the small piece of land and the cave he buried his wife in.
“he lived in tents”
There was an internal change happening within Abraham and it started with the external events in his life!
He being the recipient of a promise from God, was having to WAIT!
heb 11
Abraham’s outlook had changed!
God told him he had land promised to him yet he was content in living in tents!
Why?
He no longer saw the world the same!
heb 11
Through Sarah God was laying out bread crumbs toward the promise!
Through Abraham and Sarah’s seed they were able to see a glimpse of what was to come.
heb 11 13
These all died IN faith
They were fully persuaded
They kept their eyes on the promise
They con
