Making the Impossible, Possible.

Romans 4:18-21
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." 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.


Abraham is a great example of a hopeful individual. He was 100 years old, and his wife Sarah was 90 years old. Abraham was childless.

What would you have done...given up and lost all hope? Abraham wouldn't. When there wasn't hope, Abraham believed. He felt God had promised him something and he knew God wouldn't let him down. Can you say the same? Do you believe God has power? Are you convinced that God's promises are the truth via the Bible? It's unanimous to me. God will stick firm to his promises. In reality, his character never changes, something that we're not exactly used to hearing as humans.

You may have a situation that seems impossible. Do you think God can make it possible? Or have you lost all sense of hope?

Use Abraham's faith as a model for your life. Anyone would probably say that Sarah can not get pregnant because of her age. You have to trust in the Lord...He won't let you down this way. Nonetheless, Sarah had a baby named Issac. God promised and he went through with it!

More about this tomorrow.
