DON’T GIVE UP ON GOD

One of my best songs is Darwin Hobbs’ He’s able. That song encourages me each time I listen to it. It says that: “God is able to do just what He says He will do. He’s gonna fulfill every promise to you. Don’t give up on God, ‘cos He won’t give up on you. Whatever He’s promised He’s going to do. He’s not a man that He’d lie.”

Numbers 23:29 says that: “God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?” So many people have forgotten that God always has something bigger than our minds in His plans. We seem to forget that He doesn’t answer to us. He is God: The Almighty. We answer to Him. When He tells us He will do something, we should rest assured that He will surely do it. Not trusting him enough is calling Him a liar and a fraud to His face.

Look at Abraham; He waited for 25 years for God to fulfill His promise of a son to him. Even Abraham gave in to the temptation of trying to speed up the process by sleeping with Haggai, Sarai’s Egyptian slave and see how that turned out for him. Eventually, God made good His promise to Abraham and made Him an Eternal Excellency; The Father of so many generations. Today, Christians around the world are referred to, among other things, as the seeds of Abraham. Imagine if Abraham had given up on God.

Someone might say that that’s too long. Yeah, it is. Sometimes, the problem with people is that they refuse to see the bigger picture. They are too short-sighted to see into the future. Even after his death, Abraham is still so relevant to the Faith. Remember, whatever God does is forever. Learn to stay in the process and hold on to the promises of God. He always makes good His promises. He never fails.
