Fear, such a powerful little four letter word. Lately I have realized that I fear more then I realize. Its easy to get caught up in worry or to start planning for things to go wrong, we like to have another option if things don't go the way we want.
But did you ever stop to think that maybe those thoughts are what is keeping us from what God has for us? If we say we believe in God and his plans and purpose for us, then we have to take our hand off the situation. We have to stop trying to manufacture the blessing we want to recieve from God.
Abraham was quite guilty of this, we read in Genesis all the times he started to doubt, he started to take things into his own hands and then asked where God was at, and why the things he promised were not coming to pass. God told him, He would be the father of many nations yet he was old and without a child. But God wasn't surprised by this!!
And Abraham realized that it was God's faithfulness that proved true. He failed and failed and failed, but God came through in the end.
Jesus wants us to have unlimited faith...he doesn't need our advice or plan he just wants us to trust him and believe for the impossible!
