“Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.” Romans 4:20-21 (NIV)
Each day on this blog we look at verses which give us promises from God. Today's verse specifically addresses one person's faith and belief in a promise God made to him. This verse is about Abraham's response to the promise of a son even though he and his wife Sarah were well past child bearing age. Abraham held firm to his belief in God's Word and promise to him even though all circumstances indicated the impossibility that the promise could be fulfilled. We also face times when we are temped by circumstances to waver in our hope. What a wonderful attitude Abraham had toward God's promise. He did not waver in unbelief, wondering if God would keep His promise. His reaction was not unbelief but faith. He was fully persuaded that God was able to deliver on His promise to him. We too, can experience a strengthening of our faith when we hold firmly to our belief in God's promises. God wants to persuade us too, and it is through allowing the Holy Spirit to convince us as He convinced Abraham that what God has said, He will accomplish without fail.
