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!
This is an awesome promise!
We have a great promise in Hebrews 13: 5, 6. This promise gives us great confidence, great joy, great peace, great expectation. It gives us great hope for the future! It secures our eternity. It removes any fears from our hearts. Here is what it says: “Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” (Hebrews 13: 5,6 NLT) As we enter into this holiday season, remember that He never fails. He never abandons us. He is our helper. He is with us, and if God be with us, who can be successful against us?
