FACE THE FACTS- STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH!

“WITHOUT WEAKENING IN HIS FAITH, HE FACED THE FACTS THAT HIS BODY WAS AS GOOD AS DEAD-SINCE HE WAS ABOUT ONE-HUNDRED YEARS OLD-AND THAT SARAH’S WOMB WAS ALSO DEAD. YET HE DID NOT WAVER THROUGH UNBELIEF REGARDING THE PROMISE OF GOD BUT WAS STRENGTHENED IN HIS FAITH AND GAVE GLORY TO GOD.” ROMANS 4:19-20

Abraham is one of the greatest examples of faith. God had promised him that he would become the father of many nations. As Abraham stared at all of the facts set before him, he never wavered in his faith. Instead, he strengthened his faith and believed that God never fails on a promise. Because of his great faith Sarah had a son and Abraham did become the father of many nations. You and I should do the same. We face the hard facts of life every day. We can either succumb to those facts and give up or we can have faith in God’s Word and know that he is in control of our lives and not the facts set before us. Just as Abraham did, we should also strengthen our faith. Faith in God and his many promises are our tools for righteousness in him. With faith we can overcome the facts. With faith we can live a life of strength, love and joy in spite of the facts before us. With faith in God’s word, we know that we can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us. With faith we can rest assured that no matter the outcome of our situations our God in heaven is in charge and that everything will turn out for his good. We must remember that he loves us and will never fail us. We must, however, have a strong faith and believe in his judgement and plan for us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
