"Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Genesis 12:1-3
How intense the faith of Abram was when he left everything he knew to be obedient. He was confident in the Lord's promise to bless him and that was enough for him. Oh, how such a grain of a mustard seed became a tree bearing fruits! The fruits of the mercy and grace of God towards His chosen disciples. How loving He is continually to even give the breath of life to those who continually blaspheme His name and reject those who are continuing to call them to repent.. Indeed the secret things of God is His own and the revealed things are to us. I imagine it's not even close to 0.1% of how immense He is..
It's so difficult to grasp the trust Abram had in the Lord. I mean, not only do I lack the trust that he so had been given but I lack trust and faith for a number of reasons especially from my childhood which I probably would never really go into depth with anyone for it is quite a burden to bear. Yet I know that God is indeed bigger than all.. None of these "psychological factors" are of any excuse when you know God is in control of all things for the good of His people and for His own glory..
My doubts shout over the logic that is bestowed on me in the Bible. Yet the same Bible shouts all the more over my already weakened faith of God's justice over the wicked. And I am as wicked as they come. Had He already passed judgement upon me? Or am I allowed to continue to seek for deliverance over my own depravity..? I pray the battle has not been lost already. I cannot bare to think of the hopelessness that would come if God were to abandon me in this moment of my short life..
