Many times, we get caught up in looking at our current situation. In the interim, doubt comes in and takes it toll. It’s this doubt that causes us to get discouraged and lose all hope.

However, I want to encourage you, my friend, that as long as you have faith in God, you will receive that which is due to you. Too often, we read the scriptures and say to ourselves, “How does this work for me?” Well, much of it comes down to the covenant God made with Abraham.

Abraham, was counted as righteous in God’s eyes. Even Paul stressed in his letters that Abraham was counted righteous in God’s sight simply because of his faith in God. (Galatians 3:6)

Abraham was given many possessions, land and an inheritance! Imagine that your parents were given access to many luxury cars, properties and businesses, and lots of cash and jewelry. And in their will they included that these possessions are to be passed down to you.

Well the good news, my friend, is that we are all heirs of Abraham. We are entitled to this inheritance because of the Covenant that God made with him. God promised Abraham, that if he just remained faithful, that all of his descendents, including you and I, will receive that inheritance.

The trick is you must stay in faith! You can’t doubt. You can’t waiver to the left or to the right. You can’t listen to what the nay-sayers are saying. No, you have to stay in faith.

You’re not a seed of Abraham unless you put your faith in God. (Galatians 3:7)

Realize that faith is righteousness and faith produces righteousness. So in order to be in right standings with God and gain that inheritance, you must stay in faith.

So next time you’re tempted to get discouraged, remember that you have a settlement coming! Just because you haven’t seen it yet, doesn’t mean that it’s not due to you. Remember, your blessing may be delayed but it’s never denied. Stay in faith and watch the many blessings consume you as you charge forth on your journey of life!
