Verse of the Day

Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Galatians 3:6

If you know the story of Abraham, you know that even in today's times, with all the medical breakthroughs that we have, no one would believe that the birth of Isaac would be possible. However, Abraham held fast to God's promise. He knew that he and Sarah would have a son. He was approximately 100 years old, and Sarah was old and barren. And yet she gave birth to their son Isaac. God honored Abraham's faith.

God wants us to have faith in Him, and when we do have faith, He honors it. Notice that Abraham "was credited as righteous" because of his faith in God. I need to work on my faith. I could definitely learn something from Abraham.

Faith is a gift!
If u don't have it...
That's why we have to work on our relationship with God. All that time we spend praying, reading and thinking about God - enable us to be more open to receive and exercise many wonderful gifts prepared for us.

Faith is believing the unseen rather than the seen things :)

Faith can definitely be a challenge to anyone at times because it is believing in the unseen.
