God who Does the Impossible
Genesis 12:7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
God initiates our fellowship with Him. He appeared to Abram. He told Abram to tell his kids that He will give them this land. Wait! Stop right here ya'll! Abram has zero kids right now! We often just read over major dilemma sections as this, give them a pass over as just a story telling time. To me, this is bitter sweet! If I was in Abrams shoes, at first, this would cut deep and hurt because reality has shown me, I will never have kids! Why God? Why would You say such a thing knowing its impossible? My faith would be challenged and I would have to on the surface say, okay but deep in my heart, doubt the very words I always wanted to hear! My trust in God would be stretched beyond limits I've ever gone before. I would say in my heart, now God, You have gone to far for me.
BUT, then the Spirit of God would come in and bring sound comforting confirmations to my spirit. He would remind me, I live by faith not by sight. He would elevate my weak faith to the place of Hope in Christ. I would rise from the doubt of what has always been to the realm that my LORD can only bring me. Sweet, because the only One who could ever promise this and make it happen is God! Sweet, because He has in one verse, taken away all the hurt and pain I have endured up until now and replaced it with promise and a sure fact that if God said it, its as good as going to be. I now have a word from God that has lifted me up and caused me to soar above the earthly realm. When God told Abram, Tell your kids, this meant he would have lots of descendants. What is God speaking to us that may appear painful now? Oh, He isn't trying to open wounds. He fully intends to elevate our faith past our doubts to experience a powerful living experience with Him. Nothing is impossible for God and that means the very thing that hurts you the most, to bring healing to your hurt! Now, walk in this glorious truth!

I know from experience that when my loving Father opens a wound, it is only to bring healing to me and/or understanding to another person.
