Genesis 24:7a
"Abraham said, 'The Lord brought me from the land of my relatives to this land and he has solemnly promised me that he would give this land to my descendants.'"
The Bible has more than 7,000 promises from God to you — promises of success, confidence, health, prosperity, strength, wisdom, and more. Why does God make these promises?
Because he wants you to learn to trust him.
When you set a goal, don't focus on the problems; focus on the promises. Find a promise in God's Word that will take you to your goal.
This is what Abraham does when Eliezer, his servant, starts to worry about accomplishing the goal he is given. In today's verse, Abraham tells Eliezer about the promise he received from God: "He'll [God] send an angel before you so that you can find a wife there for my son" (Genesis 24:7b NCV).
You don't need an angel, because dozens of times in Scripture God has said, "I'll be with you no matter where you go." God is always with you, whether you feel it or not. You just need to plug into the power.
The size of your God determines the size of your goal, and godly goal-setting always starts with a promise from God. Don't look at your limitations; look at the promises of God.
