Bible Verse of The Day – 9-11-23

Isaiah 51:2 (NKJV) 2 Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him.”

As God addressed the Israelites through the prophet Isaiah, He urged them to remember their roots, the origins of their faith.

He reminds them of Abraham, the father of their faith. God blessed Abraham for his obedience, also making him the father of many nations.

Through his seed, many nations were born.

Abraham was not perfect. He was a frail human who made some poor choices, as we all do from time to time.

Despite this, God used him and blessed him.

Why did God bless him? Because he had great faith. He trusted God in ways that no man had ever done before.

Abraham was one man. Yet he became the patriarch of the Jewish people.

He was blessed because of his faith.

How about you and me? Where do we stand in this big picture of God’s kingdom?

We are no different than Abraham. We are human, and we are frail, prone to falling from time to time.

But God can use us and bless us too!

We may not become the father of many nations, or even one nation for that matter.

But God can take the little faith we have in Him and multiply it if we let Him!

He can take us and transform us into someone we may not recognize years down the road!

Will we build nations? Will we father a whole new people? Will our lives impact hundreds of thousands of men and women?

That’s not likely. But it is possible!

We just need to trust Him and surrender ourselves to Him wholly. And then watch what He can do.
