Love God Greatly: Broken & Redeemedনমুনা

SOAP – Genesis 18:12-14
God promises Abraham and Sarah that they would bear a son, Isaac, in their old age. Because they doubted God’s promise, they conspired to circumvent God’s plan and Abraham fathered a child through Sarah’s maidservant. Their decision would cause disharmony in their family, especially after God fulfilled His promise. When we run ahead of God’s will, we can expect turmoil and confusion.

In what situation are you struggling with waiting for God’s plan, His will, and His timing in your life? True faith in God is the commitment to surrender our plans, our agenda, and our desires to those of God. When this seems impossible, we are to look to Jesus as our example. He was willing to submit to God, trusting and obeying His will even in the most painful and difficult of circumstances.

Father God, I thank You that You are all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-sufficient. Help me to surrender my dreams, my plans, and my expectations to Your will for my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
