New Venture


I am seeking the answer to a question....here are the devotionals I just read:

Feb 9th Gen 11:1-3
We should not be surprised when the living stones we live with rubs us the wrong way. It is all part of God's plan to knock off our rough edges so when we get to heaven we'll all fit together perfectly.
Expect it to be hard. Allow others to smooth out your rough spots.
Feb 10th Gen 11:9, Gal 2:28
It is only in Christ that our division is obliterated. There will be division, our unity in Christ will be the peacemaker.

Feb 11th Matt 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. These things in this case to be: purpose, identity in Christ, security in His provision and protection.
Feb 12 Gen 12:4
God waited for Abram, though he was 25 years delaying in obedience. God wasn't mad. Just as we don't yell at our children when they fall down while learning to walk, neither does God. He knows this is how we learn to walk by faith. Take hope. His mercy is new every morning and His grace is limitless. You will need to walk by faith alone.

Feb 13 Gen 12:7
Wherever you go, build an altar of worship. It will alter who you are, how you feel, and the way you think. Do this in worship of your King, and remember to continue in worship no matter the circumstance.

Feb 14 Gen 12:10-12
Abram saw trials, and falls because he doesn't stay in the land God gave him. He ran to the world. He took matters into his own hands. Man always struggles and stumbles in his area of strength. Consider yourself weak in all areas, rely on God. You will not be strong in this, unless you allow God to do all things.

Conclusion: You WILL struggle. You will need to repent often. You will feel weak. There will be opportunity for division. This will be hard! Pray. Worship. Walk in faith.
