Hebrews 11: 11
Scott J. Hafemann wrote, “Every command of God is built
upon a promise from God. Therefore every divine call to action
(obedience) is, at the same time, a divine summons to trust in
God’s promises (faith). The promises of God are commands in
disguise and vice versa. God commands what he commands
because he promises what he promises.”
We often think of Abraham as a man of faith and Sarah
as a woman who wavered and even laughed at God’s
promise. But that’s not the way she is portrayed in the
book of Hebrews.
Though there were times she was impatient or wanted
to doubt God’s promise, Sarah remained faithful to Him.
She was strengthened in her faith and believed
God
would do as He said.
Do you ever waver in your faith? Like Abraham and Sarah,
we’re not perfect. We grow impatient and fretful. But when
we realize that every promise of God is also a command
and every command contains the seed of a promise,
it
helps us trust and obey and find strength.
As you read the Bible today, keep your eyes
focused on God’s commands and promises.
He will strengthen you!
"Every time we disobey God
it is
because we are not trusting him."
