when I said, "my foot is slipping," your love, o Lord, supported me.
when anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
(psalms 94:18~19, niv)
My Love... My Hope... and My Faith...
even when there was no reason for hope,Abraham kept hoping - believing that he would become the father of many nations.- somewhere in Romans chapter 4.
Abraham was first named "father" and then became a fatherbecause he dared to trust God to do what only God could do:raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nonthing.when everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway,deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn't do but on what God said He would do.(Romans 4: 17-18, the Message)
