WFW ~ THE PROMISE of GOD

"...our faith in God's promises can increase day by day, year by year. These present words offer helpful insight into being strengthened in faith regarding God’s promises. It is so often the case that the circumstances we are in, cast doubt upon the promises God has made." ~ Christian Images...

Abraham didn't focus on his own impotence and say, "It's hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child." Nor did he survey Sarah's decades of infertility and give up. He didn't tiptoe around God's promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said. That's why it is said, "Abraham was declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right." But it's not just Abraham; it's also us!    The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless. The sacrificed Jesus made us fit for God, set us right with God.  Romans 4:19-25 ~ The Message
