Promise 33 Gen. 15:7-8

Gen. 15:7-8 - "And He said to Him, 'I am the Lord who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it.' He (Abram) said, 'O Lord God, how may I know that I will possess it?'" Now you would think that God would be frustrated at Abram at this point. He has already seen God be true to His word, yet he still isn't believing that He is going to do what He says He will do. Abram wants more proof, more information, more details of how God is going to secure the land He has promised. How many times do we do that? Do we question God? All the time! We can't seem to take God at His word so we challenge it or push Him to prove Himself. God didn't leave Abram sitting in wonder though, because of His love, He revealed to Him what will take place, and even the timelines. He didn't have to do that, but He did, because He cared. God meets us right where we are at. Even though He is good on His word "always", He will go the extra mile to give us whatever information we need that will cause us to trust Him and believe in Him even more, why? Because He desires that we be close to Him. That's what a loving Father does.
