" And not being weak in faith, he did not
consider his own body…he did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief,
but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced
that what He had promised He was also able to perform"
(Romans 4:19-21, NKJV).
Abraham is known as our father in the faith, but
he had many obstacles coming against the promise of God in his life. See, God
told him that he would be “the father of many nations,” but Abraham was over 90
years old before he ever saw that promise begin to come to pass. How many people
today would look in the mirror and say, “No way; it’s just not happening.” But
today’s scripture tells us that he didn’t consider his body. He didn’t meditate
on all the reasons he couldn’t be the father of many nations. Instead, he
considered the strength and ability of his God!
He knew God could make a way even when there seemed to be no way. Abraham knew
he served a faithful God, and so he gave all the praise and glory to Him!
Scripture says his faith strengthened him and opened the door for God to move
mightily on his behalf.
Today, what are you believing God for? Does it seem impossible? Has it taken a
long time? Consider your God. Consider His Word. Consider His faithfulness. Just
like Abraham, let His Word strengthen you as you give glory to God. Keep
believing and keep hoping and let your faith open the way for victory in every
area of your life!
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness and strength at work in my life today. I choose to consider Your ability over my circumstance. I choose to trust You and receive Your strength. I give You praise, honor and glory now and forevermore. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
