"The Seed of Abraham"

 "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham." (Hebrews 2:16 KJV)

  "So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham. For Abraham is the father of all who believe. That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, "I have made you the father of many nations." This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing." (Romans 4:16-17 NLT)

 Whatever we do, we must not stop believing, even when we might not feel like things are working for good, because what we might think is not good, God is good, no matter what! I hope you did get the point I was trying to make yesterday, because it might seem rather simple; but it is only simple because God has made it so. I believe because God said it is so, therefor what I believe, will not change, because He doesn't change, period! 

 That said, I know that I change, with every single trial and tribulation! 'Is this something God is making me go through because I have sinned?' 'Is this something that God wants me to go through to make me stronger?' 'Can I even know what He is doing, or is it just me not listening?' 

 I have learned something over the years, sometimes over and over again; you would think by now I would get it right; but every season is another lesson in keeping the faith...

 "Even though there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping - believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, "That's how many descendants you will have!" And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead - and so was Sarah's womb. Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. And because of Abraham's faith, God counted him as righteous. And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn't just for Abraham's benefit. It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God." (Romans 4:18-25 NLT)
