"He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in
faith, giving glory to God"  (Romans 4:20)


Today's Thought

Abraham through his display of faith brought glory to God. Here was a man
ripe with old age not only still waiting but expecting the manifestation of
a promise God had given him many years earlier. Everything was against him,
yet he stood strong knowing God was not a liar and would perfect that which
concerned him even if it meant doing something extraordinary in his life.

The challenge to us today is to bring glory to God through our example of
faith . . . God has made us promises . . . we are in covenant with Him . . .
yet we all too often doubt His provision for us by fearing He will not keep
His promises for whatever reason!

Since "fear" is the opposite of "faith", do a check on your life and see if
you are walking in expectation or walking in fear . . . then go ahead and
transform your "fear" into "faith". "Perfect love casteth out fear" . . . if
you love Him, you'll bring glory to Him by casting out fear and allowing
faith to arise in your heart!


Today's Prayer

Father, forgive my unbelief . . . forgive my fear . . . forgive my lack of
trust! I long to glorify you through my faith . . . help thou my unbelief!
Teach me how to cast out fear far from me and walk in faith in all which
concerns you so you will be glorified through my life also. In my life,
Lord, be glorified today! Amen!


Have a blessed day!

wickedness." (Psalm 84:10)
