Trust Him thru fear

Genesis 12:10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land.

Stories as this, about Abrams failures, are often never brought up in our churches.  They are briefly touched upon, but quickly passed over!  Why?  I think its because we can relate more to these than the glorious victorious faith moments in life!  We need to spend more time figuring out why we fall to these failures and how to rise above them.  Why would I want to quickly pass over a section of scripture that I often spend most of my life dealing with?  Fear, faith, doubt about what if God doesn't help me in this?  
The famine in all the land is scary.  The fear of starving to death is real.  But Abram was in the land God brought Him, a land flowing with milk and honey, though it doesn't appear this way now.  Abram not only fears but then seeks solice in Egypt, a type of the world.  I can tell you truthfully, I have feared and placed my trust in the world many times.  The results are always the same, the world is not trust worthy!  Oh, it looks like it can help when God seems to not.  Oh, since Gods promise failed, if I stay here, I will die, but if I chase after the world, I will live.  What a lie from Satan!  I truly believe we was robbed of an amazing miracle that God was ready and able to perform for Abram.  How was God going to provide for Abram?  Instead, we read drama, soap operas.  How much time do I waste when I stop trusting God and run to the world?  How much do I miss of Gods glorious provision in my life?  I purpose in my heart today, to trust God no matter what!  How about you?

It's easy to get a little antsy in our current time but knowing (and remembering) what He has done in the past. He has always been faithful. He will always be faithful.
