Faith -Gen15

Gen15
Abram started to question God. He's trying to compromise his faith with reality.

Faith is the gap between what God can do and what he can do, between who God is and who himself is and how to cope with the difference between the two.

As his journey went on, the gap got bigger and bigger. Time after time Abram was trying to reduce God down to his level, and time after time God's training him to come up to His level.

Faith is not trying harder. Abram tried and tried until he could try no longer. All his life God's trying to teach him that A+F=G
A can't be enlarged, and G can't be reduced.

v6"Then he believed in the Lord; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness."
