How Much

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.”

- Genesis 12:1, NIV

How much are “you” willing to give up and how far are “you” willing to go to receive God’s promises? It’s too easy a thing to complain about what you’re not seeing manifest in your life, but it’s another to actually be willing to do exactly what God asks of you in order to receive His blessings - Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise (Hebrews 10:35-36, NKJV). God calls His people to leave “self” behind that they may have Him (along with all His entitlements), but unfortunately more often than not they look more so at the cost of their sacrifice instead of His reward of their obedience. Know that God went all in by giving up His Son for your salvation…that you may be free to choose between sacrifice and obedience. How about you? How much is “too much” of a cost for you to receive God’s blessings? Perhaps you should consider your answer before murmuring before the Lord about why you can’t see His blessings.

BE BLESSED!
