Seeing With Eyes of Faith

Romans 4:20-22 [20] He did not waver in unbelief at God’s promise but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,   [21] because he was fully convinced  that what He had promised He was also able to perform.   [22] Therefore, it was credited to him for righteousness.

Abraham had much in the physical realm that could have easily caused him to doubt God's promises about what He was going to do, in the future, for him and Sarah. Yet, he viewed God's promises through eyes of faith. Like Abraham, we too have many things happening in the world around us that can cause us to doubt God's promises regarding the rapture, His Second Coming, the establishment of His Millennial Kingdom here on earth, and the role we will play in ruling and reigning with Him. However, like Abraham, we can also view all of God's promises through eyes of faith. Regardless of what the world reports, and regardless of what this world's agenda wants us to believe, the fact of the matter is that none of God's promises have failed thus far; and the ones that are left to be fulfilled will also not fail. Why? Because our God is faithful to His Word and He will fulfill what He has said, right to the letter. Peter told us that in these last days people will scoff and mock the promise of the Lord's return. Today, many within the church scoff at the truth that one day soon, at any moment, the Lord Jesus will fulfill His Words in John 14, when He promised that He was going to prepare a place for us, and return to take us to where He is. The Apostle Paul told us to comfort one another with the fact that at an unexpected moment the Lord will take us out of here to be reunited with loved ones who have gone before us, and together be reunited with Him. My question to us is this, "Will we believe the lies and agendas of this world, which is ruled by Satan, or will we use our eyes of faith to believe the promises of our God, who is always faithful and cannot lie?"

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Romans 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on the Name of Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive His free gift of salvation (Romans 10:13).
