He
Was Fully
Convinced
That God
Is
Able To Do Whatever He Promises.
Scripture
Romans
4
20 Abraham
never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew
stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.
24 for our
benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if
we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
25 He was
handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to
make us right with God.
Observation
The
story of Abraham is a story of incredible faith. The Bible says
“Abraham
believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates
new things out of nothing. Even when there was no reason for hope,
Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of
many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many
descendants you will have!” And Abraham’s faith did not weaken,
even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as
good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.” Rom. 4:17-19
How
about your story? How about my story? Is my life and is your life
both stories of incredible faith?
“Faith
shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things
we cannot see. … And it is impossible to please God without faith.
Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that
he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”
Hebrews
11:1,6
What
are we believing God for right now?
Application
I
will hold on to and I will believe every promise that God has for me
in the Bible.
How
about you? Will you believe?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that You have given me thousands of promises in Your
Word so I could live my life by faith. Help me to walk by faith and
not by sight. Don't let me doubt Your promises.
I
pray for my friend who is close to death. You know better than
anyone how sad this makes me. I pray that during the time that he has
left that he will call out to You. I pray for his salvation. Help him
as he goes through this difficult time. I pray for his brothers and
sister. Give them strength and comfort them.
