Abraham's life is a classic illustration of how God works with us. First, He BLESSES. Next, He stretches us by TESTING. If we pass that test, He BLESSES again. If we fail it, we are TAUGHT SOME MORE, then TESTED again.
Examples:
Test: Will Abraham leave his homeland? PASSES
Test: Will he leave ALL his relatives? FAILS
BLESSED: GIVEN THE LAND
Test: Well he trust during the famine? FAILS
Test: Will he trust God for his safety? FAILS
RETURNS, WORSHIPS GOD. CYCLE STARTS AGAIN......
Test: Will he give up Lot? PASSES
BLESSED: GIVEN ALL THE LAND HE CAN SEE
Test: Will he believe God for a son? FAILS
ETC, ETC .....
Abrahim learned a definition of faith:
FAITH IS BELIEVING IT'S SO
WHEN IT'S NOT SO
BECAUSE YOU KNOW
GOD IS GOING TO MAKE IT SO!
