📌📌📌FAITH OF OUR FATHERS📌📌📌
They walked with God when there was no roadmap.
No precedent. No applause. Only a promise.
When Genesis tells us that God said to Abraham, “Leave your country… to a land I will show you” (Genesis 12:1), there was no GPS coordinate attached. Just a voice. And he went. Can you imagine the silence of that first night? Stars above him. Sand beneath him. And a promise that sounded too large for his aging body “So shall your seed be”* (Genesis 15:5).
And then there was Isaac, laid upon the altar in Genesis 22. The wood arranged. The fire ready. The knife lifted. Suspense hanging between heaven and earth. But Abraham believed “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). And heaven thundered back with a ram in the thicket.
What about Jacob? A fugitive with a stone for a pillow in Genesis 28. Running from his past. Yet in the wilderness, he saw a ladder stretching into glory, angels ascending and descending and he whispered, “Surely the Lord is in this place” (Genesis 28:16).
And Moses, standing before the Red Sea in Exodus 14. Mountains on either side. Pharaoh behind. Water ahead. The people trembling.
God said, “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord” (Exodus 14:13).
Can you feel that moment?
The wind beginning to move.
The waters parting.
The impossible making way for destiny.
This is the faith of our fathers, not fragile, not convenient, not casual. It is the faith that walks when it cannot see, builds when it does not understand & stands when it is surrounded.
And the writer of Hebrews declares, “These all died in faith…” (Hebrews 11:13). They did not see everything fulfilled — but they saw enough of God to trust Him completely.
Now the question is not what they believed. The question is… what will we believe?
Will we rise with Abraham?
Trust like Isaac?
Wrestle like Jacob?
Stand like Moses?
Because the same God who split seas still moves. The same God who called them calls us. And when our story is written, may it be said, that we did not inherit comfort… We inherited conviction.
This is the year of the Faith of Our Fathers, and the glory will be greater than the beginning.
