Don’t Stagger

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

What is this thing called faith? We hear about faith all the time and know we are supposed to have it, but what exactly is it? There are times when we know we have faith and there are other times when we doubt if we have faith at all. As Christians we are supposed to be people of faith, but there are situations even as Christians where our faith gets weak. We still believe God is who He is, but we begin to wonder if He is going to do what He said He was going to do in our lives. It becomes difficult to keep faith when everything around us is falling apart, and it doesn't make sense to keep believing in something that is dwindling right before our eyes. Faith for us does not rest on material evidence or logical proof, in other words faith in some situations is not going to make sense. The Scripture reminds us that, Abraham did not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. I encourage you today to hold on to your faith and know that if God said He was going to do something in your life, He will do it. God told Abraham he was going to have a son, and it did not make sense to him because of his age, and he did not know how God was going to do it. Abraham did not stagger at the promise, but he was strong in his faith in God. Do not stagger or waver in what God has said for your life, it doesn't make a difference how illogical it may seem right now, God will do it. It doesn't make a difference how improbable it may look right now, God will do it. Even as you are waiting on the promises of God to be fulfilled in your life, don't waver in your faith, but hold on to it with all your might, and know God will bring it to pass for you. I thank God for all the promises He has made to me for my life and no matter how farfetched they seem to be to anybody else I know God will do what He said for me. Since I am not wavering in my faith and I know God's Word and promises for me are sure and will come to pass, I know without a doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for every promise you have made for my life. There are times when it doesn’t seem like it is going to happen for me, but I will not waver or stagger at your promises, I will wait on you and know without a doubt that if you said it, it will happen for me. Thank you Lord for never forgetting about me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
