Yet to be #181

Abraham, the friend of God, received a promise.
To be the father of many nations, the heir of the world.
Impossible when the body was old and frail.
In a moment of unbridled weakness, believing it best to help God, they formed a plan.
Unfortunately, the plan was flawed future lines of adversity created.
Then in the fullness of time, a reawakening began.
The promise given a decade ago was now, reality.
To be an heir there must be a living legacy.
Abraham, by faith, believed God at his word. The idea of resurrection brought the promise to fruition. He was fully persuaded that what God promised, God was also able to perform. (Romans 4:21)
God is not slack concerning his promise. By faith, Abraham received his promise; it was inputted unto him for righteousness. (James 2:23 and Romans 4:22)

“Who against hope believed in hope, and being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb; he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.” (Romans 4:17-19)
