PROVE YOURSELF FAITHFUL

Neh 9:7-8
7 "You are the LORD God, who chose Abram and brought him from Ur of the Chaldeans and renamed him Abraham. 8 When he had proved himself faithful, you made a covenant with him to give him and his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. And you have done what you promised, for you are always true to your word. NLT
** God gave Abraham everything He promised him. However, notice the condition of God’s promised blessings in verse 8….. “When he had PROVED himself faithful.” God really wants to bless His people and give them promises and covenants and do awesome things for them and to them, but He’s waiting for us to prove that we can handle it. He is waiting for us to “prove ourselves faithful.” This takes time which most Christians don’t think they have much of because their too busy doing stuff. Yea, I know, I do stuff too and it sure takes up a lot of my time so I don’t have the time I need to prove myself faithful. So what do we do? I would recommend to start setting priorities in your life. What is the most important thing to God first and then build around it both your schedule and time. Once you prove yourself faithful to God you can know that He is ALWAYS true to His Word and will do what He has promised.
