Faith Gives Glory to God

Romans 4:20 tells us that Abraham gave glory to God by his strong faith.  He trusted God’s promise to him when the fulfillment of that promise appeared all but impossible.  The foundation of Abraham’s God-honoring faith was the conviction that the Lord was able to do whatever He had promised.  Faith worthy of imitation trusts in God’s sufficiency to accomplish things that are altogether impossible to anything but His sufficiency.  Concerning what God has promised, no difficulty that seems to make the fulfillment impossible should have any weight with us.  Strong faith will carry the one who believes above the consideration of all the obstacles that might lie in the way of the fulfillment of God’s word.
