The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” – Genesis 12:1 The question presented by the text is not whether God was going to bless Abram.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. – Proverbs 3:5 When the Lord tells David that he is not going to be the one to build the temple, I really like the fact that David seems at peace with God’s “no” and doesn’t have a pity party.

Many are the plans in the heart of a man, but it is the purposes of God that shall prevail. – Proverbs 19:21 God answers prayer in four ways. First, God answers prayer directly.
