Hebrews 11:11-12
“By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.”
How does one end up in the Faith Hall of Fame? Where does one start? How do we cultivate a relationship with God that takes us past the impossible? Although initially skeptical, Sarah turned a corner and her faith won out. The difference was a change of focus – from the impossible promise to the Omnipotent Promiser.
We might not get the blessing of seeing all the fruit from our faithfulness on this side of life, but we can be confident in the One who is in control when we establish habits that remind us of His power and character, and love.
Prayer: Thank You Lord for Your promise that You will never leave us. Help us to have an ongoing and deepening relationship with You. Help us to come to You first for thanks, guidance, and direction. Help us grow in Your Word. Help us to find peace and joy in a relationship with You. Thank You for your never-ending love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
