When There Was No Hope?

Romans 4:1-25

Have you been there when your back was against the wall and no one believed in your dream, in your vision, in your assignment? Abraham was now one hundred years old and still had no son from Sarah. He has gotten correction from God that Sarah would bring him a son. Would he still believe in God's word to him, "You will be a father of many nations?"

When all hope was gone, in the natural there was no reason for hope. What kept Abraham hoping, what kept him believing that he would become the father of many nations?

Some of you are still waiting on your spouse, your new business, your new ministry, your new baby, your new home, your breakthrough, your miracle, your dream to break forth?

Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season, you shall reap if you faint not.( Galatians 6:9) How many times have you been beaten and bruised with the doubts from hell that have knocked you down and around? Have you felt as if God himself has forgotten all about His promise to you?

Any man or woman that's ever had a dream from God has felt that way. Moses must have felt forsaken in the desert. Elijah must have felt that way hiding in a cave in the wilderness running from Jezebel. Hannah must have felt that way barren without a son. Peter must have felt that way after the death of the Lord on the cross. He declares, "I'm going fishing."

All of these in the end saw their breakthrough, their dream come into reality. I myself have had to learn, "It's better to wrestle with your struggle than to wrestle with the regret that you quit."

Abraham also experience when all hope was gone; you've got to still hold on to your hope. In God's timing, Isaac did come; the promise never comes when you think it should. We must all realize that God is never squeeze by our own opinion of His timing.

His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and his ways are higher than our ways. Today hold on to your hope that God will bring to pass every promise that He has made to you. Yes, you can take him to the bank on every promise. Just don't get sick over it, trust in Him and He shall bring it to pass. "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit." (Eccl 7:8)
