Get Out Of The Tent
“Genesis 15:5 “And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night]…”
Step One: Get out of the tent!
Step Two: Look Up!
“Look now toward the heavens…”
Step Three: Believe God!
“And Abram believed the Lord,…”
Genesis 15:6 NLT
“I am the Lord who brought you out...””
Genesis 15:7 NLT
Before getting out of the tent Abram was complaining that God hadn’t followed through on His promises.
Right after “…the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.””
Genesis 15:1 NKJV
In the middle is getting out of the tent! A change of perspective.
Sometimes we want to loathe in self-pity, doubt, our sin, time lost, promises forgotten, etc.
I believe God wants us to get out of our tent, focus on Him and His promises.
He’s with us in the tent, He is calling us out of the tent, where He will also be with us, and then to venture into the unknown where He will lead us and is there with us as well.
My prayer for you is that no matter where you are: in the tent, still looking up, or on your journey forward that you would allow God to be your shield and your great reward! He will give you strength and be with you every step of the way.
