DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Trusting God's Promises
Romans 4:1, 3, 20-22
"What then shall we say that Abram our father has found according to the flesh? .... For what does the Scripture say? 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' .... For he did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore, 'it was accounted to him for righteousness.' "
Paul used Abraham and King David as illustrations of men who lived by faith in God's promises. This did not mean they never sinned, but that they trusted God the God who promised. If someone promised to put (impute) $1,000,000 into my bank account, but I didn't trust him or believe him and never used it, it would do me absolutely no good. Faith trusts the God who promised and enjoys the benefits.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: We can trust the God who promised to forgive our sins and remember them
no more (Jeremiah 31:34).
Have a believing day. Love you.
