It was by faith that Abraham obeyed
when God called him to leave home and go to
another land that God would give him as an
inheritance. He went without
knowing
where
he was
going
Hebrews 11:8
he must have had a doubt or two
he must have felt some fear
yet he packed everything he owned
and obeyed
day after day
night after night
he walked
following the unseen
yet visible hand of God
he journeyed with
a promise in his heart...
"I will make you into a great nation"
clinging to those words he followed
yet in time he questioned even God's promise...
descendants with no son?
so beautiful the whisper of God...
"Look up into the sky and count the stars
if you can.
That's how many descendants you will have"
God still whispers
His hand still guides
His love always embraces
even the questioning heart
seasons come when the heart
simply cannot see what lies ahead
the heart feels
s
u
s
p
e
n
d

between what was
and what will be
a place where fear
plants seeds of doubt
in even the goodness
of God
in those times
in those places
a place in which I find myself
I hang onto His promise to never
leave me
knowing that
I am held securely
by the very hands
that hung the stars in space
