![]() ![]() ![]() Abram’s life shows us that God can and will use us despite our weaknesses and failures (see 1 Cor 1:26–31). Our past failures or lapses of faith do not prevent God from using us to accomplish great things, whether in witnessing to His work in our lives or defeating armies of giants (see Psa 118:6 Rom 8:31). In Genesis 14, when Abram learned that his nephew was in danger, he didn’t hesitate to act. Emboldened by God’s promise, Abram confidently set his eyes on the armies of the Mesopotamian kings, and with his band of trained men, he took down an army of giants. In Genesis 12, he acted out of fear and self-preservation in the face of danger instead of trusting in God’s promise (Gen 12:10–20). Abram knew what it was like to fail in trusting God fully. Yet it’s easy to feel timid or reluctant about displaying our faith-especially if we’ve failed before. As followers of Christ, we strive to live in a way that visibly attests to the work of God in our lives. ![]()
