Wandering in a wasteland or slaying giants?

Friday - 11/16 - Read Hebrews 11:11,12 and Genesis 18:10-15

God is not asking you to have a baby when you're almost 100 years old. Relief, right? Really? Could He be asking you to do something far more difficult?

Save your marriage? Share Christ with someone on your Deep Impact Prayer List? Control your tongue or anger? What is it for you?

All of us have something we feel is just impossible in our Christian walk.

Like the children of Israel perhaps God's plan has too many giants inhabiting the land. Giants like potential for failure, embarrassment, cost, loss of popularity, loss of prestige, fatigue, sacrifice? WHAT IS THE GIANT YOU FEAR?

God wants you to see how big those giants are. Tell God they're big, but in the same breath tell God He's bigger, mightier and far more powerful.

The reason many Christians settle for wandering in a wasteland, spiritually, is because they don't see how big God is. How sad to sell yourself and your family short.

God doesn't want you wandering in a wasteland of boring, impotent Christianity. He wants you to take the land and inhabit the place of God's blessing He has for each and every one of us.

Let's take the land by faith.
