What Do You Do When It's Too Big for You?

Before God visited Abram, he was getting on with life—doing the daily grind and living in his own world. He didn't even know God; his family worshipped the pagan gods of that time.

Then God visited Abram and revealed His plan for his life and Sarah's. He changed Abram's name and gave him a new vision for his future.

Abraham didn't have to do anything; God did it all. Abraham simply entered into what God was doing for him, and that became the turning point in his life. He trusted what God did to set him right instead of trying to do it on his own, and in his strength.

The truth is, there was nothing Abraham or Sarah could do to make their bodies suddenly produce an heir. The task was far too big for them. So what did Abraham do? He trusted God.

Are you facing something that seems impossible—something too big for you to even think about without becoming worried or anxious?

Take a lesson from Abraham: trust God. Trust that He will put everything right for you. He will fix the mess and restore what has been lost and broken. No matter how hard you try, there are some things only God can do. As you trust Him, He will turn your situation around and bring your life back into order.

It's a wonderful gift from God. He will do His part; all he asks is that you trust Him too.
