Bold Steps Into The Promised Places
Saturday, April 12
Genesis 13:17 (NIV) “Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”
Devotion
When God makes a promise, He doesn’t speak in uncertainty or hesitation. His Word is final, His intent is clear, and His power is unmatched. In Genesis 13:17, God instructs Abram to walk through the land, not to see if it might be his, but because God had already given it to him. It was a done deal in the spirit realm, and now Abram was to take steps of faith and explore what was already his by divine decree.
Sometimes, we stand on the edge of God’s promises, staring into what He has spoken over our lives, but afraid to move. We hesitate, question, and delay, forgetting that our confidence is not in ourselves but in the One who has spoken. If God said it, it will be. But possessing the promise requires faith-filled action. Just as Abram walked the land, we too must walk, mentally, spiritually, and even physically, into the promises of God, knowing that what He gives is sure.
This moment in Abram’s journey reminds us that God's promises are not potential, they are certain. But the fulfillment in our lives often hinges on our willingness to take God at His Word and move boldly.
Today’s Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the certainty of Your promises. You are not a man that You should lie, nor a son of man that You should change Your mind. Help me to believe You fully and to act on what You’ve already spoken. Give me the boldness to step into every promise You've laid out for me. Strengthen my faith, and let my steps echo with confidence in Your faithfulness. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Apply It Today
What promise has God made to you that you have not yet walked into? Today, take a bold step, whether it's making that phone call, submitting the application, forgiving the past, or simply declaring the promise aloud. Trust that God has already gone before you. Walk in faith, not by sight.
