S. Romans 4:19-21 (NIV) 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
O. Abraham was about 100 years old. He had not yet realized God’s promise of being a father of many nations as he and Sarah were still childless. However, he faced the fact of his age and having no children with unflinching faith (“he did not waver”) that God would still do what He had promised.
A. We (myself included) are at times reminded by the enemy of the “facts” (too old, too short, not enough money, not enough people attending church, not enough education for the job requirements, etc) in our lives and possibly ministries. YET, I will be as Abraham and confront the facts with the TRUTH by faith - that my God will still do what He has promised. I will believe the Truth and not the facts.
P. Thank you Father for this word today and for the truth that you will do as you have promised. I have faith in you and I will not be overcome by “the facts.” In Jesus’ name!
