Exodus 13:17-18
  • God knew that the shortcut that went through the land of the Philistines would be trouble so He took the Israelites the longer way. I'm sure they groaned and complained, not knowing the dangers they were avoiding. How many times have we complained about the way that God is leading us, not realizing what He is saving us from? We need to trust that He's leading the way, the way to something good, and know that He sees the bigger picture.

Romans 4:18-24
  • Abraham and Sarah's situation looked bleak. Their circumstance told them that having a child at their age was simply impossible. BUT Abraham hoped against ALL hope that God, the One who moves in impossible situations, the One Who make rivers in the deserts and creates paths where there seems to be dead-ends, would do just as He said. So Abraham believed. Doesn't mean that he was perfect and didn't falter in his belief. All you need is a mustard seed of faith.
