Countless blessings of the Lord
Abraham, the man of God, defeated Chedorlaomer with a small number of 318 soldiers and raised a sword to rescue his nephew Lot.
When the king of Sodom was asked to bring the goods to be obtained through the war, he left without bringing any yarn or clothes.
As the years passed, Abraham decided to live only by faith. Abraham was determined to live only by the grace of God.
I was in fear. Abraham was shaken.
Why did you fall into fear?
1> I fell into fear because I was spiritually weak.
Abraham, who defeated Chedorlaomer, fell into a sense of crisis that they would attack him as the years passed.
Today's members are also very concerned - they are anxious about their health, business, work, future, and accidents.
The first thing God said to the fearful Abraham was, do not be afraid.
2> His impatience made him fall into fear.
God had decided to give him a child when he was old, but when he had no children for over 10 years, he became suspicious and afraid.
Abraham prayed, but looking at himself when he was old or looking at Sarah, he did not seem likely to have children.
The first thing Abraham asks before God, who tells him not to be afraid, is when will he give him a child? it's an afterthought
He begins to waver with doubts about his faith, which he has lived by faith.
Today's believers also put out prayer topics and pray, but if they don't get an answer right away, they feel discouraged and their faith shakes.
The impatient mind is shaken spiritually and falls into fear.
What should I do in this case?
1. Hold on to the Word and bow down.
Abraham heard the comforting voice of God in a vision in Genesis 15:1.
“Ideal” is - the vision. It means that they looked to the Lord while thinking about the word of God. I mean I prayed.
To Abraham prostrate with a vision = Do not be afraid. I am your shield and a great reward. comfort you
Peace and fear always come to the saints like tides and tides.
Therefore, the shaking Abraham. Lessons learned from Abraham in crisis
1> Don't be arrogant. - We can fall too.
2> Don't worry too much. - Let's entrust life and death clothes to God.
3> Bring it up. - Become a person of prayer. (The secret to overcoming these difficult times has been prayer.)
2. Hold onto the word of God's promise.
To the fearful Abraham, “Do not be afraid. I am your shield and your exceedingly great reward.”
Shield means to protect. It means protecting you. It means you will be saved.
The word "extremely great reward" means to Abraham, who rejected the king of Sodom's words and fell into a sense of material loss.
It means that a great reward is given on top of that belief. <Blessing is life.>
3> Let us know that you are refining for a greater mission.
People want God to move them according to their thoughts. Prayers are also urgently answered.
I am ruthless; my heir is Eliezer of my house? - He asks if he is his servant. God says no
God has a providence and a wonderful plan for me.
When you call Abraham, you are not only called for the sake of Abraham's life.
He wants to be a source of blessing for the holy people of God's kingdom and a channel of blessing.
Therefore, God, who will use Abraham, has the necessary training for Abraham.

Do you think people are difficult and difficult?
Know that God is training me to use you as a more precious tool. This is the providence of God and the plan that only God knows.
It is said that there are many bamboos in Guam. Weak by just growing up. Bamboo in Korea or China is strong because it suffers from the wind in summer and winter temperatures.
