Scripture reference: James 1:6 (NLT)
Transcription:
You might consider creating a backup plan, especially when the stakes seem high, just in case God doesn’t come through.
This was certainly the case for Sarah, Abraham’s wife. During this time, men gained their status by the number of sons they had. Meanwhile, women gained their status by the number of children they bore.
After several failed attempts at having a baby and likely feeling that her stakes were very high, Sarah executed her backup plan. She had her servant Hagar sleep with Abraham, hoping that she could give him a son.
Shortly after that, Sarah became very unhappy with her plan. It wasn’t until Sarah put her faith entirely in God, even at age 90, that she became pregnant.
Do you have a high-stakes situation for which you, even subconsciously, have a backup plan? If so, remember these words: “But when you ask Him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.” James 1:6 (NLT)
This has been your B Moment. Your moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.
