God promised to make Abram great.  He tells him to not be afraid.  He basically lets Abram know “I got your back”, and Abram believed it. Looking back we can understand why Abram should believe God.  God had protected Abram and his family; He provided and always took care of him.  Sounds like you and me…right?  So why do we look elsewhere for our security, protection, food, clothing, shelter…etc..etc..  It comes down to faith.  Although the evidence is there people still don’t believe.  Paul the apostle told us: ” For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).  God has made Himself known.  So faith should be easy, right?  I think it’s also a choice of what we choose to believe.  Most people believe there is a God, but many don’t know Him or care to.  Most of us (including me), cry out to God for help when things get bad.  But what God really desires is a relationship with each one of us.  This relationship comes through Jesus.  Jesus said: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). So He is knocking all you have to do is answer.  Once we do He has promised us: “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). So if you’re lost, confused, afraid, and don’t know what to say or do….just say Jesus!
