Gen. 21:1,22,33 3 steps to faith.

1.  v.1  The promise God makes is backed up by the word that he had spoken.  God fulfilled the word of promise that he spoke to them.  Heb. 1: He has spoken to us by his son.  All that is in the new testament is his word to us.
2.  v.22  Even others saw that God was with Abraham in all he does.  Isaiah was made to understand this and uses the word God is with us ---Immanuel.--God is with us. He is in us by the Holy Spirit.
3.  v.33  The everlasting God---  This is who God is.  Not just any god.  eternal God reveals his faithfulness to do all he has said he would do. He isn't limited by time, he is in the now in our yesterday, today and tomorrow all at the same moment.  As we sit in what is called time, God is already working in our tomorrows to bless ,provide and give victory in every way.---stay focused on him he will do wonders. He actually has done wonders in our tomorrows before they get here.  One example of this truth is the book of Revelation from chapter 4:  on is all future we haven't seen yet.  It all appears as if done in detail.  We who are his sons are seen there also in the millenium and heaven places.

summary----God is faithful to his promises,  he is with us, and he is already working in our tomorrows.  The rest is just believe it and that is faith.
