Strong Faith

"And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an 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; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform." (Rom. 4:19-21).

While on his way to work a business man noticed a young boy who appeared to be waiting for a bus. The man noticed also that the bus stop was across the street from where the boy was standing and he asked the boy, "Are you waiting for the bus?" The boy replied, "I sure am." "Well, the bus stop is across the street," said the business man. The boy said, "I know, but I have faith that the bus is going to stop here." The man shot back, "I don't care how much faith you have the bus isn't going to stop here." But sure enough when the bus came down the road it stopped right where the boy was standing. As the man stood there in amazement he heard the boy saying to the bus driver as he climbed on the bus, "Hi daddy."

Strong faith is not faith in faith or positive thinking. It’s not; believe it and you can achieve it. Faith is as good as its object. Concerning Abraham Paul wrote, "And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform" (Romans 4:21). Do you want to have strong faith? Strong faith comes from getting to know God in such a way that your heart is fully persuaded that he is infinitely trustworthy, that his promise are sure and his word will never fail. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). Do you want to increase your faith? Don't just get into the word of God, but let the word of God get into you. Get into the bible not so that you can get to know the word of God but in order that you might get to know the God of the word.
