God had promised Abraham that he and Sarah would have a son and He would make him a father of many nations through that son. The challenge was that he and Sarah were in their upper nineties. Even though Abraham realized that this was impossible in the natural, He still believed God. He did not waver at His promise. He was fully convinced that God would do what He promised. The book of Romans reveals just how thoroughly Abraham believed God: Romans 4: 20-22 “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Abraham gave glory to God by believing God’s promises. He also received his “miracle son” by faith. What “miracle” are you asking God for? The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He gave Abraham a miracle that is still being spoken about today! Be like Abraham and be strengthened in your faith. Know that what God promises, He is well able to perform. Your miracle is on its way!
Can you comprehend this kind of grace?
The greatest kindness was revealed at the cross. God extended grace to each of us. It was not just any grace. It was exceeding riches of grace in His kindness. Ephesians 2: 7 says: “That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” Notice it was not just riches. It was exceeding riches. For me, riches means great abundance. But God didn’t just give us riches of grace. He gave us exceeding riches of grace. The word exceeding means: “To surpass, supereminent. To throw beyond the usual mark ” That means that whatever we think riches are, God took it to a level that we won’t ever really comprehend. His grace and kindness toward us is unfathomable. He loves us with a love that is perfect, pure and eternal. It is the greatest gift you will ever receive. So today, as you navigate through your daily chores, allow God’s grace, kindness and love to fill your heart and mind. His love is more powerful than any challenge you will ever face, and guess what, He is always with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you!
Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”
