Good Morning.  Here’s Today’s Nugget to chew on:

“Consider Not”

Romans 4:19-25 The Message (MSG)

19-25 Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child.” Nor did he survey Sarah’s decades of infertility and give up. He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said

That’s why it is said, “Abraham was declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right.” But it’s not just Abraham; it’s also us! The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless. The sacrificed Jesus made us fit for God, set us right with God.

Further Thought: Today’s passage reminds us that there are no impossible situations in the Kingdom of God. Here we find Abraham, who didn’t have a Bible or anyone to encourage him in times of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, but simply chose to believe what God had promised.  Let’s remember that faith to believe what God has said requires us to step out of the realm of the senses and into the realm of the spirit, where all things become possible.

So, if God has spoken or given you a promise, then stand on that promise, regardless of how things appear in the natural.  Consider not your age, how long you’ve had the problem, what the statistics say, your ability to pay, what the economy is doing, or your qualifications.  If God has given you the vision, He will also provide the provision. Now, just like Abraham, dare to believe God.  Stop trying to figure it out or understand it before you trust.

In the natural, there was no way a 100-year-old man and a 90-year-old woman could have a child. In the natural, once they killed Jesus, there was no way for him to be raised from the dead.  In the natural there was no way Moses could lift up his rod and stretch his hand over the sea and divide it. In the natural there was no way Lazarus could be raised to life after being dead for 4 days.  But with God, “All Things R Possible,” Matthew 19:26.

Have a great day, and keep chewing on God’s Word.
