Abraham...The call had some package of promises with it.He boldly obeyed that call without looking at the promise but the one who gave the promise..Dont start ur journey seeing the promise,but start seeing the One who gives you the promise..
...He started but now He was in the wilderness the Bible records GEN 18 "At the heat of the day"..when noone dare to walk on that HOT desert.Abraham lifted His head...O dear child...You may think..that the promise package is a feeling coz nothing has happened and its noontime already..Noone will dare to walk ..
But LIFT up your heads....You will see the Lord walking in that Heat outside....He comes thru that Hot sand..that prevents you from going outside...Your feet may burn,but His wont...and He is faithful to carry you...YES HE WALKS AND COMES TO YOU...amidst the doubts and troubles you face..HE walked among those troubled waters where His disciples were afraid,He walked with the 3 hebrews in the fire
He is not the God who comes in a cloud to you while u suffer on earth...He comes to you however you are wherevr you are..
...for he himself has suffered,being tempted.He is able to aid those who are tempted...He walks where noone dares to walk....that too for US..
1 But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush [a] and Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.
And fall at the feet of God..and cry"DO NOT PASS ME BY"
Your age must have passed you...ur stage for reception of promises must have passed ,That doesnt matter..
But it matters when Christ passes by..Dont leave Him..Jacob,Jabez,Abraham.........blind Barthimaues all did not allow the Lord to pass by..without dealing with them...
Every time in a church or in a fellowship..in the house of God...in ur troubles..in your good times..HE PASSES BY YOU..but let our prayer be
"SAVIOR SAVIOR,hear my humble cry
while on others thou art calling
Do not pass me By"
