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!
Be constant in this!
2 Timothy 2:1 (Amp) says: “So you, my son, be strong [constantly strengthened] and empowered in the grace that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus.” To be strong is to have physical, moral or intellectual power. It also means: one who is not mild or weak; intense and extreme. Paul told Timothy to be strong and constantly strengthened in the grace that is ONLY FOUND in Christ Jesus! Notice that it says that we are to be strengthened constantly! It’s a daily discipline. We need to be intense and extreme in our pursuing the strength that is found in His grace! It’s time to go all in. Become a radical disciple of Christ. Let the world see Jesus in you! Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). When the storms come, they won’t overwhelm you. When the fire comes, it won’t burn you. When the flood comes, it won’t drown you. Why, because you are strong in His grace. And where do we find this strength and grace? Well, it’s like Paul said. It’s only found in Christ Jesus!
2 Timothy 2:1 “So you, my son, be strong [constantly strengthened] and empowered in the grace that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus.”
