"The just shall live by faith."
**
There is a faith that perseveres through all sorts of challenges and difficulties. You must hang on to that faith. There’s a faith that perseveres through the nearly impossible; you must hang on to that faith. There’s a faith that stands immovable when everything is falling apart; you must hang on to that faith. There’s a faith that says, God saves, in a place where light cannot even penetrate—hang on to that. There’s a faith that is so foolish that it overturns all rationality and the comfortable faith that we are taught. Hang on to that. There’s a faith that one must hang on to as God clears the path. There is a faith that will get you through this dark and uncertain time. Hang on to that. It’s the faith that will take you through an unexpected, unusual place to attain great and unusual things. It’s the faith that makes you attain what you cannot imagine and become who you would not have imagined.
An unusual path requires unusual actions—unusual faith. God did not swear by Himself because Abraham exercised typical faith. God did not bless a faith that made everyone believe. He blessed a faith that caused Him to do something unusual and make a declaration He had not made before.
God will come through for you. He has already come through for you; just wait on it.

And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; |Genesis22:16-17|
