Obtain Your Promise

Obtain Your Promise

“And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.”
Hebrews 6:15

Mark Twain said, “The difference between what you believe and what you almost believe is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”

The difference between knowing a promise from God and obtaining a promise from God is equally distinct.

Don’t come up short. God not only wants you to know his promise, but, like Abraham, he wants you to obtain it.

Keep in mind— Abraham had to wait twenty or thirty years from the time he was given the promise till he obtained the promise. Don’t lose heart. Don’t give up. Don’t surrender to unbelief. Stay strong. Keep a firm grip on every promise God gives you.

Loving Father, I take firm hold of your promise to me. Like Abraham, increase my faith as I am waiting.
