So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. |

Genesis 12:4 | ||

Abram was fifty years old when he initially heard God’s call. But he didn’t leave Haran until he was seventy-five. Obviously, Abram faltered in his obedience. But guess what? God didn’t give up on Abram. Rather He waited for Abram. “Lord, why aren’t You directing me?” we cry. “I already did,” He answers. “Twenty-five years ago, I told you what to do. And I won’t give you more to do until you do what I’ve already told you.” Many people are confused about God’s will because, like Abram, they’ve delayed doing what He has already asked of them. It might concern intercessory prayer, witnessing, or Bible study. I encourage people to keep journals—to write down things God lays upon their hearts because so often we ask, “What’s going on?” when, if we would just look back at what God had told us previously, we could see the problem. God wasn’t mad at Abram—and He’s not mad at you. When your kids take their first steps, you don’t yell at them when they fall down. You celebrate their steps rather than berate their stumbling. God is the same way. He knows this is how we learn to walk by faith. Take hope, stumbling saint, Abram was in a twenty-five-year slump, and God didn’t give up on him. God gives us a second chance, and a third, and a ninety-ninth. His mercy is new every morning. His grace is limitless. | ||
