Wherever there are promises from God, there are also problems along the walk of faith to fulfilling those problems.

Tragedy for the Steven Curtis Chapman Family

The Walk of Faith: Signpost #2—Problems
Problems
When there is a promise from God, there are always problems to overcome that eventually propel you toward the promise. Abraham and Sarah’s old age and impotence were—-at least in their own minds—-stumbling blocks toward Abraham being the father of a nation of people who would change the world. Then there is David.
