TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
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.
TODAY'S WORD:
Abraham, who is known as our father in the faith, had
many obstacles coming against the promise of God in his life. God told him that
he would be “the father of many nations.”
Abraham was over 90 years old before he ever saw that
promise begin to come to pass. This scripture tells us that He didn't consider
his body. He didn't think and meditate on all the reasons why he couldn't be
the father of many nations. No, he considered and thought about the strength
and ability of God! He thought about God’s faithfulness and gave praise and
glory to Him. The faith that Abraham exercised opened the door for God to do mighty
things in and through Him.
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, you’ll grow strong in faith as
you give glory to God. Trust Him today and experience the victory He has in
store for you tomorrow!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
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 give You praise, honor and glory, now and always in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
