“...fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.”
What a wonderful verse to read, but when you meditate on those words it turns more into a convicting verse. Abraham was fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. I looked up the word fully, and the dictionary says it means completely or entirely. So in other words, he couldn’t have been more convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
Life sometimes feels so overwhelming and uncertain. And it’s kinda hard to be fully convinced when you’re in frustrating circumstances. But when it’s easy, it’s easy to be fully convinced. Well, here is a way that helped Abraham be fully convinced. He grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God. Romans 4:20b. Giving glory to God even when life looked bleak and scary. Even when God required his son to be laid on the altar. Fully convinced also gave Abraham peace. Peace to know that whatever happened, God was in control and working it out for his good. Therefore he would leave it in his hands.
Lord, help me to be fully convinced that you are able to do what you have promised, and then help me to give all the glory to you. You are in control and are always up to something good in my life.
