A Daily Devotional About wisdom and age… Romans 4:18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead--since he was about a hundred years old--and that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. (NIV) Some people grow old and wise. However, other people grow old and lose their faith because they do not see how God works in their life. People who do not give God credit or glory become bitter, hostile, and lonely while making themselves, and others, miserable. Yet, some people grow old and gain more faith the older they get because as they age they see more clearly what God has done in their life. Abraham was a man of faith. Even at a hundred years old, Abraham was giving glory to God. When we grow older and we do not count the blessings of our past by giving God glory, we begin to sink into depression and darkness. When we do not give God glory or credit for the great things He has done in our life, we leave Him out of our heart. When we give glory to God by surveying the great things God has done in our life, God's power bubbles up from within us. |
