Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

Have you considered your actions and how they affect the people around you? I guess we all forget now and again.

I know I feel very guilty when I do things around people when I realise just how much it could tempt them or upset them.

Asking God for protection each and every day will build your strength up so you will get better at doing what is right for others and not just yourself.

Consider God’s will before every action.

Romans 4:19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

Abraham exercised his faith: he knew his body was beyond an age where he would be able to have children, but he continued to trust in what God had promised.

We need to put aside our earthly shortcomings and limitations because God is not limited by our physical earth as we are.

Give God your doubt so He can show you what is possible when you place your faith and trust in His hands instead of your own hands!

Hebrews 11:12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude - innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

It was not what Abraham could do but what God could do through Abraham. God continued to wait until Sarah and Abraham had all but given up before He started the ball rolling.

God may just make you wait until He knows you will get it too – it is not what we can do but what He can do through us!

Waiting on God is not meant to be like waiting to be given a present, it is more like waiting for the right job to be created for your skills God has given you.

Hebrews 11:10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Abraham knew he was looking for more than just a building, more than just a temple; he was looking for something God created.

Yes, we can all say how much God has created and we only build things upon that which God has created, but this is something more than our handiwork.

Christ instituted the church, not the building, the people. Christ showed us how we can all follow God and worship Him just as we were created.
