Romans 4;19-21
19.  He (Abram) did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb.20.  No distrust made him waver concerning the Promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,21.  fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised.
Is anything too hard for God?
 The Virgin Mary asked of Gabriel saying,   “How can this be, since I have no husband?”  (Luke 1;34)“And the angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.  And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.  For with God nothing will be impossible.”  (Luke 1;35-37)
It is the power of the Word of God alone which accomplishes His will.  No help from man is needed.  As we read earlier in verse 17 of this chapter, “God…who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things which do not exist.”
Abram believed God could do anything, the absence of a rational, reasonable hope, did not trouble Abram’s faith.   His God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing.  
Remember, our God desires to restore us to being ‘His children,’ children who have not learned to doubt God, trusting only in the rational, material world.  God’s children embrace the miraculous as the divine norm.
Perfect praise of God is a capacity God gives His children.  “Out of the mouth of babies and infants You have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.”  (Psalm 8;2)
Giving thanks in all circumstances is commanded us.  (1 Thessalonians 5;16-18).   As we do, we enter into the Mind of Christ, we are children of God.  As we praise God, believing in His divine power at work in His promises, the power of this world of death and impossibilities dissolves, and we walk by the Holy Spirit with the angels.“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence, by which He has granted us His precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in this world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.”  (2 Peter 1;3&4)

Prayer:  Merciful Father, grant that Your Promise and Promises to us be our great treasure and treasures.  Deliver us from the materialistic passions of this world, and the death which comes with doubt.  In Jesus we pray, Amen.
Love, Dad/Baba/Eric/Grandpa Pickle Pastor“A chapter a day, every day, progressively, be transformed, ‘soak’ in the living Word.  God’s Word is our habitation, and we as broken, contrite, dependent children are His.”“The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”  (Psalm 51;17)
