WORD TODAY: He Knows Us!

 

He Knows Us I know him, that he will command his children. Genesis 18:19 God wants people that He can depend upon. He could say of Abraham, “I know him...” Of course, we know that God can be depended upon. And God wants us to be just as decided, as reliable, as stable as Abraham was. This is exactly what faith means. God is looking for men and women on whom He can put the weight of all His love, power and faithful promises. God’s engines are strong enough for any weight we attach to them. Unfortunately, the cable which we fasten to the engine is often too weak to hold the weight of our prayer! Therefore, God is drilling us, disciplining us to stability and certainty in the life of faith. Let us learn our lessons and stand fast. —A. B. Simpson God knows that you can stand that trial; He would not give it to you if you could not. It is His trust in you that explains the trials of life, however bitter they may be. God knows our strength, and He measures it to the last inch; and a trial was never given to anyone that was greater than their strength, through God, to bear it.
