Romans 4:20
We are going to take this verse and break it up in two different parts. The second half of the verse we will look at tomorrow. Today our focus is going to be on the promises of God. God is the ultimate promise keeper. [1 Thessalonians 5:24] tells us that God is faithful or dependable and reliable. When He makes a promise to one of His children, you can count on that promise coming true. This was true for those who lived in biblical times as well as true for you and I today.
The one thing that kept Abraham going and kept giving new strength to his faith was the promise God had made to him. That was the thing he kept going back to. That was what kept giving hope against hope and keeps him from becoming weak in faith.
Today’s challenge will be a little shorter than the rest to give you ample opportunity to read and meditate on a few of the many promises God has made to you. I am only going to write out scripture references. It will be up to you to read, and more importantly to pray through these scriptures until the truth sinks into your soul and bones giving you new vigor in praying, living, and serving.
Please do not fall for the temptation to rush through these scriptures. The enemy would rather you do almost anything than to pray and slowly read the truth of God’s Word, especially out loud. Speak it, pray it, embrace it, memorize it, and live it.

Steps to Trust and Obey:
1. Did the Lord use any of the above scriptures to speak to you? If so, which ones?
2. What did the Lord do to your faith?
3. What promises will you take away from this day to strengthen your trust in God?
