“Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” Romans 4:18
Have you ever doubted God’s promises for your life? Abraham was seventy-five years old when God promised him a son. And God didn’t fulfill his promise to Abraham until he was almost one hundred years old! Imagine waiting on something you knew God had in store for you, but assuming it would come within a reasonable time period of a few years only to become discouraged as the years wore on. And yet Abraham had such great faith in spite of having to wait twenty-five years to see the promise fulfilled. His attitude is an example for us as believers today. All God requires is for us to cease worrying and trust in Him. Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping! Don't you just love that?. When everything in nature stood against him, and it seemed impossible to do, his hope was not based on an earthly one, but it was a hope based on what God had said would happen. For against all hope, all earthly hope, Abraham believed in a heavenly hope in God.
My friends, is there a situation in your life where you have an earthly hope for something to happen? It is time to look beyond an earthly hope and believe in a heavenly one. Believe in God’s promise, even if it seems almost impossible in the natural world. Do not focus on what is seen with the eyes of the flesh, but rather, set your eyes on the eternal promises of God. Be like Abraham, who against all hope, believed in hope and received, inherited the promise of God. (He praised God for this blessing even before it happened). Keep hoping and believe in God’s word, and that promise of God for you will be a reality. being confident that God knows what he’s doing and will work in his timing, not ours. How can we doubt a God who can perform miracles and fulfill the impossible? Look at what he did for Abraham — if God could make an infertile woman have a child in her old age, then God can fulfill his promise toward you. And remember. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1.
