Faith Like Abraham

Journal Entry from August 26, 2010:

Dear Father,
  
I have been drawn to verses about FAITH over the past few days........

I love the verses in Romans 4 which highlight the faith of Abraham. Romans 4:18-21 states, "Against all HOPE, Abraham believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, 'So shall your offspring be.' Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead-since he was about 100 years old- and that Sarah's womb was also dead. YET, he did not waiver through unbelief regarding the promises of God, but was STRENGTHENED IN HIS FAITH and gave glory to God, being FULLY PERSUADED that God had the power to do what he had promised."

Lord, please give us faith like Abraham! That against all hope, we would still believe in your promises of healing and the words of life that have already been spoken over Aliyah!
