We are required to "follow in the steps of faithful Abraham, the father of faith". What exactly is meant by that? Hebrews 11 is the faith chapter with a parade of faithful brought to our attention. One thing that all these people had in common was: a steadfast belief that God was working, God was involved in their lives, and God was always in control.
Abraham waited 25 years from the "promise" of a child till he heard that baby cry in the tent. 25 years is a long time to wait believing God will do his Word, when your wife was an old woman! David waited 16 years from the time Samuel anointed him king until he sat down in the golden throne. 16 yrs is along time to wait and believe God, when your enemy is chasing you and trying to kill you.
How long have you waited for God to do His promise? Don't give up, but believe along with the faithful, that God is able and well able. Remember 12 spies all went to the same church, heard the same preacher (Moses) preach each Sabbath. Saw the same mighty miracles done in Egypt, but 10 said “They could not” and 2 said “God would”. And you know what? They were all correct. 10 lost out and 2 inherited. You see we all get exactly what we believe, or don't believe.
