Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Thus, it is fitting that we revisit our mode of thought when it comes to the exercising of intelligent faith in God. One thing we must always bear in mind is that presumption lies very close to the track of faith, and at times the Christian might experience difficulty in differentiating between the two. To presume is to suppose that something is the case merely on the basis of probability.
Assuming, or just taking things for granted does not necessarily mean that in every case the promises of God will apply in your particular circumstance, exactly as stated. For instance, there is a passage in Scripture where it says that when this believer cries, the Lord delivers him out of all his troubles. The next verse speaks of the angel of The Lord encamping around them who fear Him and what is the expected result.
To conclude that this will be the case in every given situation, or for persons to expect that the passages would be fulfilled to the letter, exactly as stated with no possibility of any variation would be to presume that the blessing is guaranteed in any circumstance. In other words, just because folks believe a promise and they might expect a blessing does not mean to say that in every situation it would pan out without exception.
Psalms 34:6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear him and delivers them.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
