*The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.”* (Genesis 12:1–2, NIV)
In response to God’s Word, Abraham moved out with his nephew Lot. They came into the Promised Land and had such great herds and flocks that the land could not support both of them. *To avoid family feud, Abraham allowed Lot to first choose the land he desired. Lot took the best land, “well watered, like the garden of the Lord.”*
Abraham took the dry land. And instead of his flocks dwindling, they multiplied greatly. This is the secret: *Abraham knew that the blessing of God was on him and not his location. He knew the land was not his source; God was his source.* In the natural, he should have struggled, but his flocks and herds multiplied.
He became one of the wealthiest men of that day. Beloved, God’s blessing is on you. It’s not dependent on your circumstances, your environment, your location, or who you know. *Stop looking up to people, places, or positions as your source, and look up to God. He’s your source, your strength and your great reward.*
Your trust in the Lord will be tried. Your faith in God will be persecuted. Trials and temptations are signs that the devil is asking you to let go of your faith and trust in the Lord. *But if you stand, you will blossom when you should be drying up, excel despite what tries to hold you down, and succeed in the struggle.*
Prayer: *“Father, thank You that I am not limited by what the people around me do or how they treat me. Thank You that You can override difficult circumstances and bring about what You have said about me in your Word. I'm so glad that you're my divine soure. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”*
