A
reminder for today
Melchizedek
blessed Abram with this blessing: "Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High, who has defeated your enemies for you." (Genesis 14:19-20)
Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High, who has defeated your enemies for you." (Genesis 14:19-20)
Bold – trusting God for victory.
This is an interesting section in the life of Abram. His nephew
Lot was captured and taken away by the armies of King Kedorlaomer of Elam, King
Tidal of Goiim, King Amraphel of Babylonia, and King Arioch of Ellasar. One of
his men escaped and told Abram who in turn took 318 men from his household and
went after Kedorlaomer's army until he caught up with them at Dan. Here he
defeated them and send them running to free Lot and all the prisoners.
What caught my attention is the bold way Abram got up and
by faith followed them and defeated them with God’s help. What sounds almost
impossible was made possible. Abram just got up and went after them, with no
two thoughts about it.
How often do we stand before something and we know God
will be with us, but we allow doubt to enter our minds and confuse us, when
instead we must just get up and go after it. We must be bold in our actions as
Abram was.
My dear friend, the Creator of heaven and earth is with
you through all that awaits you, do not let doubt and fear take away victory
but let God defeat your enemy and save you from failure, in Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
