—Genesis 17:15-22
by: Angie Osborn.
In this passage, we see Abraham doubt God. He even laughs at God’s plan! If we take a good look at ourselves, we may find that we are a lot like Abraham. We may not laugh out loud, but we do struggle with putting our faith in God and trusting him. It is easy for us to “take the reins” of our life as we doubt God’s understanding of what we are experiencing. We see things through our limited human vision and wonder how God could ever work in this situation or that situation; yet he can! God does not work within the limitations of our timing and our understanding. When we are tempted to doubt, it is time to turn to God for faith, guidance and patience; laying our lives back in the palm of his mighty hand.
