Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead —since he was about a hundred years old —and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
This is an amazing analysis of the life of faith. Abraham faced the facts around him, but did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God. Many Christians ignore the facts and fall into blind optimism, while others are overwhelmed by the facts to the point of unbelief. Our father of faith Abraham shows us how to live with the realities around us while we look to heaven for God’s intervention. ~ Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
