Day 93    I Will Be Their God
Genesis 17:8 (New International Version, ©2011)
8 The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
Abraham and Sarah had no children.  Abraham was ninety-nine years old when God spoke to him and said “your descendants after you.”  He also said, “I am God Almighty.”  (Vs. 1)
Vs. 2 says, “I will confirm My covenant between me and you and I will greatly increase your numbers.”
God always has a much bigger plan for us than we can even conceive of for ourselves.  If we know that, perhaps it would be wise for us to say, “I agree with You, God.  Go ahead and work Your plan. I am with you!!”
If you have people that you love who are not putting God first place in their lives and are struggling because of it,  you can say, “Father, Your promise in Genesis 17:8 is that You will be their God." That is a very personal promise from the very heart of God to you!!
The next prayer that I pray is, “Lord, do not let me block Your plan with my limited knowledge of the situation.  Father, teach me to love them like you love them and if you chose to use me to facilitate Your plan, help me to know that.  If You chose not to use me, help me to be still and wait for you.  As I wait, help me to pray and to stand in faith for the answer.”
