Snip snip @promiseseeker

Sometimes in order to get the promise we have to cut something off or cut something out along the way. Maybe it's cutting off bad behaviour, foul language, pride, envy, sin... Or maybe it's making a sacrifice and cutting out TV, social media, food, drink... for a season to make room for what God wants to do. 

When God asks us to cut something out of our lives it's always to make room for his goodness and his promises. Cutting out/off the stuff God asks us to sets us apart and marks us out as His.

For Abraham, the sign of his promise was circumcision (I bet he wished he'd got the rainbow like Noah!) But this cutting off would again be a constant reminder and sign of all the incredible things God had promised he would do for Abraham, and a sign to outsiders too that here was a man who belonged to God. Sometimes there's a journey to go through in order to get the promise at the end. Don't be afraid of what God asks you to sacrifice or cut off along the way...
