Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 2ഉദാഹരണം

In today's Chapter, the verse that stood out for me was Romans 4:19: “He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb” (ESV).

Abraham did not regard the fact that his body was now dead as any obstacle to fulfilling the promise God gave him. He did not suffer that fact to influence him or to produce any doubt about the fulfilment. Faith looks to the strength of God, not to numerous inabilities or difficulties that may appear formidable to man.

We stand face-to-face with so many reasons why our faith can or may weaken that we forget to walk in faith and unconsciously choose to stare fixedly in the reality and in our current circumstances that we forget or postpone the promises that God has over our lives.

Abraham could have despised and doubted the promise God gave him. His physical and emotional reality was practically against him, but Abraham understood something about who God is. He understood that God does not go against His will and promises. That He is the same today, tomorrow, and every day. That His promises will always be fulfilled and that God can never forget the promises He made over your life.

Today's challenge: What promises did God give you that seem impossible and unrealistic for the human heart to comprehend? And where did you lose heart? I challenge you to hold fast to those promises without weakening your faith and wait for God to break through as He always does.
