Fully Persuaded

{Daily Selah}


Promises. Sometimes we make them, but we're not always able to keep them. I'm so glad God is not like we are. He has no limits like we do. He never changes, neither does His Word. His decrees stand for all eternity. He always says what He means and means what He says. He has never broken a promise and never will.

Abraham knew he served a faithful God. He didn't hesitate to trust his promises. 

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 (Romans 4:20:21).

God wants you and I to have an Abraham-like faith; a faith that never wavers; a faith that understands who He is and is fully persuaded that God will keep His Word. 

God always has, always does and always will keep His Word. 

Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations (Deuteronomy 7:9). 

There is no reason for us to ever doubt Him. We serve the only true God, the Almighty Creator of the universe. Our God has conquered sin and death and hell. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords and He is on our side. 

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:31-32). 

The God of the universe loves us so much that He gave His Son to die in our place. He proved His love when Christ's blood poured down to the earth from the cross. We know He has never broken a promise so why do we ever doubt, worry or fear? 

We've seen Him at work in our own lives. We've seen Him at work in others. We've seen Him at work in His Word. God has never given us reason to waver in our faith. We have no excuse for our lack of faith. But, we have every reason to have an Abraham-like faith, fully persuaded that God will do what He says He will do.

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 (Romans 4:20:21).

Fully persuaded.
