That Faith

I want faith like Abraham! Check this...

Romans 4:18-25 talks about the faith that Abraham had. A few key things to remember are 1) even though Abraham's promise from God (He was to be the Father of many nations) seemed "utterly impossible" the Bible says that his faith NEVER weakened. 2) He had never wavering faith. Waiver means to voluntarily surrender. He never had the thought to surrender, to... give up, to walk away from, to turn from that which God had promised him. In not giving up or giving in, his faith grew stronger. 3) v. 21 says he was ABSOLUTELY convinced of God's promises. Are we as believers today absolutely convinced to believe fully and solely in God that he will always do what he has promised? Are we so convinced in His word that no matter the circumstance, no matter how utterly impossible it may be we are going to remain in faith!

If you find yourself today or lately stuck in a rut with your faith don't question God. He has called us to be in faith. Find faith in his Word. Read the word. Evaluate the words you say over your life because you just might have started to believe them. When a situation arises that is bigger than you take it to God and let him do what He does bet. God didn't call us to a life that we have to figure it all out, rather He has called us to believe Him. Faith believes God. Faith speaks His promises.
