STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH

STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH      Friday July 17, 2015

Text: Roman 4:17 – 22            Memory verse: v 20

Abraham never faltered in believing God’s promise because he took God at His word. His persistence in believing made his faith grew stronger. He was able to trust in God to do what seemed humanly impossible, and even to glorify God before the results were apparent. In spite of all this, Abraham was clearly human and imperfect. He had his weaknesses (fears) and bad habits (lying under pressure). The Bible depicts Abraham with all his flaws, but as a man of faith. Abraham’s faith was simple trust in God and He honoured that.

Abraham is a model not just for the Jews, but for all people as a person of faith who realized he was totally dependent on his Creator for all things, even life itself. This should be a challenge for us. We should depend on God as we go forth into the world believing Him to provide for us all we need and ask of Him. You may have been asking for a very long time but trust God as Abraham did and you will not be disappointed.

Food for Thought: Do you have faith in God

Prayer: Lord, grant me a strong faith to trust you as Abraham did.
