Octo 25, 2023: MYSTERY OF THE DAY

THE MYSTERY

Who didn’t consider his own body, already dead, and the deadness of his wife’s womb to influence his faith about what God can do? Perhaps you are someone who wavers at the promise of God, solve this mystery and be fully convinced about what God has done and is doing in your life!

What is the Scripture that solves this mystery? [book chapter : verse/s].

SCRIPTURE CLUES
  • Psalm 46:1-3 – 1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed,
    And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah
  • Isaiah 12:2 – “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”
  • Habakkuk 3:18 – yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
JOURNAL

Thank you God for being my refuge and strength, the God of my salvation through Jesus Christ.

    Intriguing question, ND. From experience, I know that God is faithful. I’ve witnessed God’s faithfulness in my life, and the life of others, firsthand.From Scripture, I see God is faithful because His faithfulness is demonstrated throughout the Bible. I know it from the countless stories showing God’s faithfulness over and over and over again.

    I’d offer up Romans 4:19-21 as a possible answer.

    “Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.”

      That’s the answer indeed, you’ve solved it!

      I’m so thankful for your testimony and sharing —in so many words—the faithfulness of God in your life and others.

      It’s awesome how the apostle Paul used Abraham as the example of unwavering faith, and in fact even “strengthened in his faith … fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised.” It’s a great reminder when feeling down or discouraged about where I’ve messed up, not to allow that to weaken my faith in order to consider with unbelief what God can do, but to be like Abraham.
