—Hebrews 11:8-12
by: Angie Osborn.
Abraham followed God by faith. Was it always easy? No! Did God’s plan always make sense? No! At times, God’s plan and his promises may have even seemed utterly ridiculous. As we have seen in other passages, even Abraham doubted at times. Ultimately, however, Abraham put his trust in God. He had that mustard seed of faith needed to follow where God led him. God blessed Abraham richly. Despite his humanness, Abraham chose to believe God, follow God, trust in his plan, and be obedient to him. That didn’t guarantee that Abraham had a perfect life with no trials, but God was faithful! He blessed Abraham’s obedience and he will bless ours too.
