January 31, 2020: SOAP #3711:  Exodus 28-29; Acts 7

Scripture:  Acts (NIV) 7:3 [Stephen’s response before the high priest] ‘Leave your country and your people,’ God said, ‘and go to the land I will show you.’ …
5 He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child.

Observation:  To us, God’s promises are not being fulfilled; they may take a long time in coming.  But God’s promises are GOD’s PROMISES!  He who never forgets will not forget His word!  The promises He made in Abraham’s day, He fulfilled in Moses’ day!

As God’s promises to Abraham were fulfilled, so God’s promises to me will be fulfilled!

Application:   I should never give up on God’s promises.  Those promises not fulfilled in my earthly lifetime will surely be fulfilled to the generations to come.  Looking over the ramparts of heaven, I will be able to see God carrying on His plan.  His promises to me will not end with my death.

Prayer:   Heavenly Father, you are the eternally faithful God.  You are sovereign and all things will work out for you glory.  What a privilege that I can be a small part of your plan. May I be faithful as you are faithful. Amen
