Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
11 By faith Abraham, even though he was past age—and Sarah herself was barren—was enabled to become a father because he considered Him faithful who had made the promise.
With God, anything is possible. I think this is easy to forget when we find ourselves in difficult circumstances. There is nothing that is beyond the power of God. As humans, we get caught up in science or logic that tells us that peace is not possible, certain diseases are incurable, that a barren woman cannot conceive a child, or that a paralyzed man will never walk again . But this passage in Hebrews reminds us that we must be "certain of what we do not see". God works in ways that we cannot see or understand. God works miracles. He answers prayers. Abraham and Sarah had faith in the Lord. They hoped for a child and they prayed faithfully. Sarah was barren, and Abraham was very old....anyone would think it impossible for them to conceive a child. But the power of the Lord is great. God was pleased with their faith and He rewarded them because they sought Him earnestly. (vs 6). Do not give up hope. Be certain of God, even when things seem impossible. Take heart. Miracles do happen. :-)
