--TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD ~~

--"He took him outside and said, “Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness."
~~~[Genesis 15:5-6/ NIV] --

--Abraham was an old man, and I imagine that he was filled with questions. He and his wife had no children, while their friends’ lives buzzed with the activity of not only children, but grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. Understandably, he would have been wondering about the promise God had made him. Abraham reminded God, “You know, You and I had an understanding.” God patiently walked Abraham outside and said to him, “Look up. Count the stars if you can. I’m going to make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky.” The next sentence astounds me: “Abraham believed God.” God said it, so Abraham believed it. Done. Then, God credited Abraham’s faith as righteousness. Being people of faith does not mean we don’t have questions. It means that if God said it, we can walk forward with confidence, knowing that He will keep His promises in His time and then reward us for trusting Him.

THINK ABOUT IT
~~Bolster your faith with this certainty: God’s Word always proves true (Proverbs 30:5). His Word is tested (Psalm 18:30), and not one has ever failed (Joshua 21:45, Isaiah 55:11). Like Abraham, you can confidently take God at His Word.

PRAYER
~~"Heavenly Father, I put my hope in Your Word. Not one of Your promises has ever failed. Give me patient endurance, inspired by hope in Jesus, as I trust Your timing and rely on Your love. I believe You, Lord. You, LORD Jesus are the Word of God. "I and my Father are One." Your Word is true. In Jesus’ name, amen."

-[**Friends, Please note 2 Peter 2:20,21,22 // These verses are speaking to that so often asked question, 'Can a person lose their salvation?' **Notice VS 21="For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them." Jehovah Yahweh never forces Himself on anyone. Please believe Him. "It is impossible for God to lie" -[Hebrews 6:18]. Yes, Jesus loves you so much. He died for you. As you read the Holy Bible take it as a personal love letter to you, individually. That is exactly what it is. You are loved with an everlasting love and underneath are His everlasting arms. Please don't turn Him away. Just like Abraham, His Word can be counted unto you as righteousness, as you believe Him. Jesus is YAHWEH / YHWH / Jesus is Jehovah G-D! He said, "I and the Father are one." ~]
