Surely There Is No Fear Of God

[S] Genesis 20:11 --
 11Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

[O] Contrary to Abraham's presumption, there was a clear fear of God in that place.  He lack of trust caused him to deceive other people whom he should've actually be influencing toward God by setting a good example.  His mindset of, "There's no way God can work in such place like this," was where the flaw began.  How many times do I have the same flawed thinking when I see things with my own eyes and come to my own conclusions?  Is anything too difficult for God (from yesterday's devo)?  No.  But why do I act like it too many times?  God is at work in all places despite the condition.  All types of people matter to God; so I shouldn't label anyone to be "impossible."  I have to remember He hung that cross and died for all types of people here on earth.

[A] In a quiet place identify any areas in my brain where I've wrote off to be impossible place for God to work.  And surrender them to God so He could (and He will) show His mighty power there as well.

[P] Dear God, may there be no areas in my mind to presume You're powerless because nothing is too difficult (let alone impossible) for You.  May I trust in You to be working in any and all places You send me to go.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
