What Is Limiting Your View?

  • Summary

  • In our text, God urgently tells Abraham to come outside and look at the heavens, and his offspring will be as numerous as the stars above. God had made this promise to Abraham before. However, at this point, Abraham was close to 100 years old and had no children. Had Abraham looked at the sky inside the tent, he would not have seen the stars. God had to get Abraham outside so he could see the plan. Another translation of the passage says Abraham had to move into the starlight to see what God was showing him. Sometimes, God has to move us to a place where we can see beyond limitations and see what He has for us. God didn't move Abraham halfway around the world; he only had to go outside the flap door of his tent. For others, it is not a physical location but leaving behind past failures to see the future. We look at our past and assume that God cannot possibly want to bless us. Our assumptions on God limit what He can do in our lives. Abraham assumed that he had missed the blessing because of his age, but the Bible says he believed when he stepped outside the tent. What do we assume that is not true? What is limiting our view?
