June 12th - Evening | ENTRUSTED BLESSINGS
Hebrews 11:8
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 his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going.
Have you ever wondered why parents don’t trust their kids with bigger things? It is because when they have given the children responsibilities to do something small, kids don’t always obey the instructions completely. God wants to entrust us with the many blessings that He had prepared for us from the beginning of time, if we would only obey His instructions fully. It was told that when the Great War broke out, Great Britain sent requests to Australia to build ships. The Australians did not build ships, but rather they sowed seeds with the intent to reap the harvest and send food to the motherland. Well, the great harvest came in and it was time to send the grain to Great Britain as war help but there were no ships available. Eventually, mice got to the sitting grain and soon after found their way to towns, villages and cities, carrying diseases with them that would damage people’s eyes and blind some, as well. An intended blessing can be a curse without obedience and if instructions aren’t followed. When we do obey, however, the blessings and the joy are entrusted without fail. |
