Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Genesis 15:5

When I think about the deep, the ocean immediately comes to mind- vast and beautiful yet with so many unknowns it challenges my ability to be in control, and that is a feeling that many of us don’t like. However, you were never created to play in the shallow. God has a massive plan for your life, and he wants to speak to you today to expand your view, to take the limits off, shatter the fear that has kept you back and trust him in this next phase of your life.

What has God been showing you lately? Has He been revealing your purpose, truth, or potential opportunities? Wherever you are, you need to know that God has a plan for your life and that He wants to show you how to accomplish it with a clear vision. In this devotional you will discover how Biblical characters before you fulfilled God's vision successfully, and how can you, too!

God has a vision for your life! By trusting God and placing your faith in Him, you can believe without any doubt that He will accomplish all that He has envisioned for you. When Abraham thought his situation was hopeless, God brought him outside the tent and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars.” There were thousands of stars shining brilliantly in the night sky, each one representing an amazing promise that He has made toward Abraham, as well as to you! And He remembers every single one!

Like Abraham, you may have received a dream or a vision from God; but along the way, life gets you down and you lose perspective of what truly matters. God knew that Abraham was disheartened and needed a fresh perspective of his life. So God took him out of his tent and told him to count the stars in the sky (Gen. 15:5). Today, as you look up from your discouragement, and gaze upon the stars, know that each one of them represents God’s promises and His never-ending faithfulness toward you!

When we live according to the flesh and according to our natural senses, our circumstances can get the better of us. However, when we dwell in the Spirit and step out in faith, we can be overcomers in life through Christ! Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. The faith we have—no matter how small—can be used by God in big ways. The visions and dreams that God gives us will build our faith as we choose to obey, step out in faith, and see Him make good on His promises.

Focusing on God’s relationship with the nation of Israel throughout history, this 5-day biblical study also draws on the power and truth of the Gospel that forever changed the world. Inspired by IN OUR HANDS: The Battle for Jerusalem, a CBN Documentaries film, this study highlights God’s relentless love, mercy, and grace available to everyone who will call upon His name.

“ Waiting”- I don’t know about you, but I become irate when I must wait. It’s at this time I realize just how low my patience level is. As children of God, it sometimes becomes even more frustrating when we must wait for something we have been praying for because God the Father has tremendous patience and it’s a characteristic he wants each of us to develop. Waiting can be our friend, or it can be our foe, it can be positive or negative, it can be joyous, or it can be full of sorrow; ultimately the choice is yours.

In this devotional we’ll see that many times we doubt God’s movement in our lives, making us weak in in faith, opening up space for questioning and insecurities. But, we have to overcome these doubts, anchoring our hope in the promises of God, in His faithfulness and His eternal goodness.

God loves His children. His Word, the Bible, details His wondrous thoughts, actions, and plans for His children. Then why are scores of us living in situations beneath His promises? One reason is a lack of knowledge in applying faith. This Bible Plan shares how to use our God-given faith to experience God's promises. God's Word is His will for you. Transform your life by applying Faith That Delivers!
