Today we are looking into 5 known men in history. The history of the Bible. You might have heard of them. These 5 men, two were men of faith, another two were distracted by human morals, the last one got entangled in a trap. Even though he got trapped in a situation, he asked God for restoration.
These men I am talking about today and tomorrow are Abraham, Moses, King Saul, King Solomon and Samson.
The first two with the Anchored Faith
The finishers
Abraham: The Journey of Faith
* Genesis 12:1–4 — The Call & Promise: Leaving his homeland in obedience to God’s command, receiving the promise of a great nation.
* Genesis 15:1–6 — The Covenant Faith: Believing the Lord’s promise of endless descendants, counted to him as righteousness.
* Genesis 22:1–3, 11–12 — The Ultimate Test: Demonstrating absolute obedience on Mount Moriah, trusting God to provide.
* Hebrews 11:8–10 — The Overarching Summary: Dwelling in the land of promise by faith, looking for a city built by God.
Moses: The Burden of Leadership
* Exodus 3:1–4, 10 — The Call at the Burning Bush: Set apart to confront Pharaoh and lead Israel out of bondage.
* Exodus 33:14–15 — The Pursuit of God’s Presence: Refusing to move forward without the Presence of the Lord going before them.
* Numbers 20:8–12 — The Misstep at Meribah: Striking the rock in anger instead of speaking to it, forfeiting entry into the Promised Land.
* Deuteronomy 34:1–5, 10 — The Passing & Legacy: Viewing the land from Mount Nebo, remembered as a prophet known face-to-face by the Lord.
I’m just giving you a nugget of truth. Go explore the Bible and see how these great men were able to do great works. Moses faith walk is found in Hebrews 11:23-29. The life of Moses spoken out.
The truth is being guided by God and following what he put in front of us. They could have walked away but their love for God was very powerful and they understood what God was about during that time.
Be with us tomorrow as we look into the other three men who started off good but ended up in a way we don’t want to be in. Just know the word for tomorrow is to stand firm in God don’t waver.
