“…the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not a though they were.” (Romans 4:17b)
Praise God that we serve a God who calls things that are not as though they were!
Before Abram ever had a son God changed his name to Abraham and called him a father of many nations.
It took decades for that name to fit Abraham; but God was faithful.
I love that He calls us as He sees us and not as we see ourselves. I love that He speaks to us as our fulfilled selves and not as our current selves.
Lord, I don’t know what you would call me. But I want to be quiet enough to hear You speak it. I want You to call things that are not as though they were all around me. What do You see for my life? What do You see for my marriage? What do you see for this Church? What do you see? Give me eyes to see what You see and ears to hear what you are calling out. Amen.
