I've got that sinking feeling

Monday March 5th, Genesis 15: 5 He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." 6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. 7 He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it." 8 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?" In the midst of all the promises of God, we still have our doubts. We all have the capacity to stand on the promises of God with one foot, but want the other foot on what we perceive as terra firma. We can look back on all the times that God has been with us in our life, but we still have doubts looking ahead. Our prayer is for God to give us a clear vision of Kingdom. Keeping the vision of the Kingdom in our sights is what keeps us on the path. Loosing site of the Kingdom is what causes us to veer off into the quicksand of this world. When we find ourselves sinking, we know we have gained control.
