I woke up with this song on my mind this morning. I opened my devotional the verse it gave was a summary of Romans 4:18-19. 'Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed... Without weakening in his faith.' I then opened my Bible and read word for word what it said and a little extra. It spoke to me and I hope it speaks to you also.
Romans 4:18-25
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
I LOVE the verse that says, 'He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.' I'm holding onto that one! It just may be my new favorite. :)
