#Genesis 15:5

Gaining Patience Requires a Little More, Well... Patience!

They say that patience is a virtue, something that Micah apparently believed: “But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.” (Micah 7:7, NIV) Timelines… Long, Surprisingly Slow Timelines Have you ever been frustrated because God’s timing is different from yours? Does it ever seem like it’s taking a REALLY long time for Him…

Today's Word With Joel and Victoria Osteen - Get Outside Your Tent

Today’s Scripture Genesis 15:5, AMPC  And He brought him outside [his tent into the starlight] and said, Look now toward the heavens and count the stars—if you are able to number them. Then He said to him, So shall your descendants be.  Today’s Word When God promised Abraham that he was going to be the father of many nations, he was seventy-five years old. There was no way in the natural that…

Genesis 15:3-5 (FBV). [3] “Abram went on to complain, “Look! You haven't given me any children, so a servant from my household has to be my heir!” [4] But then the Lord told him, “This man won't be your heir. Your heir will be your very own son.” [5] The Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up at the sky. See if you can count the stars! That's how many descendants you will have!”

Genesis 16:1-4 (FBV) [1] “Sarai, Abram's wife, hadn't been able to have any children for him. However, she owned a female Egyptian slave named Hagar, [2] so Sarai said to Abram, “Please listen to me. The Lord hasn't let me have any children. So please go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai had suggested. [3] So Sarai, Abram's wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband as his wife. Abram had been living in the land of Canaan for ten years when this happened. [4] Abram slept with Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized she was pregnant, she treated her mistress with contempt.”

Psalm 27:13 (NIV). “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”

“Waiting for God” by In Touch Ministries:

“Trusting God's timing is always a wise choice.”

“Our culture is an “instant” society. A fast pace isn’t necessarily bad, but we should guard against becoming so set on immediate fulfillment that we can’t wait for God’s timing

In Genesis 15:4-5, after Abraham shared frustration about him and Sarah being childless, God revealed the couple would have a son and innumerable descendants would follow. Abraham believed God but eventually decided to handle matters on his own, building a family through Sarah’s servant (Genesis 16:1-4).

Abraham probably rationalized his decision, figuring that the Lord wanted him to have a son—and since it seemed impossible any other way, surely this must be what the Lord wanted him to do! But it wasn’t. Abraham had to deal with the consequences of his actions, including jealousy and resentment between Sarah and Hagar. These problems in turn created further difficulties, both in the short term and throughout history. The Lord was faithful, though��14 years later, Sarah gave birth to a son named Isaac.

Like Abraham, you might believe God’s promises but prefer instant results. Or you just want things done your way. Instead, ask the Father to lead you. Then wait for Him. His way may not be what you think you want, but it is always best.”

Feminists, I want to express how I feel when I see all of you (as someone who once held feminist views and disliked men a decade ago, but now that I have gained understanding): Enough with the sabotage!

Be the duty of a woman. -> Genesis 2:18

God's Covenant with Abram

5 And He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens, and count the stars if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So are your seed.”

6 And he believed in יהוה, and He reckoned it to him for righteousness. — Genesis 15:5-6 | The Scriptures (ISR 1998) The Scriptures 1998 Copyright © 1998 Institute for Scripture Research.

Lesson 045: God Can Turn Things Around

Genesis 45:4-5 - And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.  But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. 

Joseph could have rightfully attributed all the setbacks and hardships in his life due to the actions of his brothers.  They threw him into a pit.  They mocked him.  They considered murdering him.  They sold him into slavery.  They ignored his cries for mercy and for help.  They were the reason he was separated from his father.  They were the reason he was a slave in Egypt.  They were indirectly the reason he spent two years in an Egyptian prison.

Let’s read together Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 5:38-39; Matthew 6:15; Romans 12:19; and 1 Thessalonians 5:15.

Joseph had the ability and plenty of reasons to get revenge upon his brothers.  Instead, Joseph let go of his past pain and forgave his brothers.  He even went a step further.  Joseph saw the good God wrought in his life despite the evil his brothers intended all those years ago.

God forgives us as we forgive others.  Even if you do not feel like forgiving others, ask God for the power to forgive them.  After all, Jesus died for us so that we could be forgiven of our sins.

Men and Women in Creation

14 Points from Genesis that emphasize male-female differentiation  What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman? While it seems that this discussion is a fruitless endeavor that results in people only stating their personal preferences, we do find an objective perspective given to us in the first three chapters of Genesis that demonstrate the essential equality of men and…

Exploring Psalm 35:

Honest Prayers and Lasting Love Introduction: Psalm 35 has always intrigued me with its raw, emotional pleas for justice. In this psalm, David uses powerful language asking God to fight against his enemies and bring them to ruin. Yet, when we look at David’s actual responses to the deaths of those who persecuted him (like Saul and Absalom), we see him grieving deeply. He does not celebrate.…

You Aren't Big Enough or Strong Enough. That's OK With God

Sometimes we feel that we aren’t strong enough to handle what life has thrown at us. You’ve been there: confronted with a job too big to do, or a failure too big to overcome. Well, God has an answer for all of us weaklings… Read this exchange between the Lord and Gideon. “The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”…
