God’s Promise Alone

In Genesis 15, God repeats a promise to Abraham*: Abraham will be great, the father of a great nation that will call him father.

 Abraham sees a problem. He is old, how can he have a son now?

 For God, this isn’t a problem. In fact, this seems to be exactly the way God loves to work. God loves to take the humanly impossible and do it.

 In Romans 4:19, Paul reflects on Abraham’s faith. He doesn’t mince words, he says Abraham believed God would give him a son even though Abraham was “as good as dead.”

 There is no question God can deal with whatever you’re facing today. The question is: Will you trust God like Abraham did?

 *Yes, yes. Abram.
