Nothing to Lean On-But God Himself
It’s a fearful thing when God slowly, but surely, begins removing various supports that we have put our confidence in; things that are substitutes for our trust in Him. But surprise of all surprises, once these human props are eliminated, we find our faith flourishes.
We discover faith thrives best in the midst of difficulties. But to realize this we must first be “…shut up unto the faith.” That is, left with no way out but faith itself. When all the safety-nets are taken away. There’s always a calculated risk attached to faith! But God works best “…when all hope [is] taken away.”
We’re told our father Abraham, “Considered not,” that is, he did not consider the human impossibilities; neither in his situation or Sarah’s. Faith makes the impossible possible! We must learn to turn our eyes upon God and from anything or anybody that would invade that faith.
God will never betray the one who trusts in Him!
