Handle With Care: Stain Removal

Week 1 – Stain Removal [Genesis 14:22-23] I will not take anything from you so that you can’t say you made Abram rich. CARING FOR GOD’S GLORY You were made to glorify God – Isaiah 43:7 No one can steal God’s glory – Isaiah 42:8 Satan loves when you try to steal God’s glory … Continue reading Handle With Care: Stain Removal →

I Will Give

Even though Lot chose the land to the east, it didn’t remove the promise of God. Remember, God promised Abram descendants, land, and blessing. Lot making a choice for some land, does not cancel a promise of God. No one can take away from the Word of God. This is why it is so vital … Continue reading I Will Give →

Lift Your Eyes

After Abram and Lot part ways, with Lot selecting the Jordan Valley and heading eastward, the Lord speaks to Abram. He says, “Now lift up your eyes.” Lift up your eyes. Fix your eyes. Focus. Look from the place where you are. Imagine Abram looking upward, as he listened to the Lord. Then northward and … Continue reading Lift Your Eyes →

Let There Be No Strife

I love what happens in Genesis 13:8. Abram recognizes that the conflict or strife between Lot and himself could not continue. When we get wrapped up in conflict, it may keep us from keeping our eyes fixed on God and His call on our life. It also may cause division. God’s Word speaks a lot … Continue reading Let There Be No Strife →

How dare we question Him?!? But there are moments when we can question God, just as Abram … Continue reading Questioning God →

As He

As I read through Genesis, I love to read about Abraham and Sarah and the promise God made to them. In Genesis 21, it states that the Lord visited Sarah. In verse 1, we read, “The LORD visited Sarah AS HE HAD SAID.” Then it continues, “And the LORD did to Sarah AS HE HAD … Continue reading As He →

The Land I Show You

There are moments when God is leading us in a direction and we hesitate because we are uncertain of the direction. The “what ifs” and other questions go through our mind. Many times we experience this type of situation even when we are given clear direction. I can only imagine how it was for Abraham … Continue reading The Land I Show You →

Live Entirely Before Me

It is difficult to live with someone. Growing up you might find it a struggle to get along with your siblings. In college you might find it hard to be a coinhabitant with particular roommates. Then one day there comes marriage and more interesting situations. You might not get the curtains you want hung. You … Continue reading Live Entirely Before Me →

Open Your Eyes

What a special moment Abraham had with God. Abraham and Lot had just split ways, with Lot choosing what area he desired to take for himself. Then God tells Abraham (then Abram) to look around. He said, “Open your eyes, look around. Look north, south, east, and west. Everything you see… I will give to … Continue reading Open Your Eyes →
