May 23, 2010 Believe Anyway
Today’s Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 6; 2 Chronicles 7; Psalm 135; Romans 4 (The Message)
Scripture Focus:
Romans 4:18 When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do.
Vs 19 Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless.
Observation:
Abraham encountered a hopeless time where it looked like things would NOT work out. So what did he do? Even though he had no power to do anything, he still believed that God would do what he said he would do.
Application:
Don’t focus on the hopelessness of my situation. Focus on the power of God to act on my behalf.
Prayer:
Father God, I’m looking to you today to perform great and mighty things in my life and through me, as I trust you to do it.
Scripture Focus:
Vs 19 Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless.
