The Man Who Believed Without a Reason To | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.11

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: 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.'" (NIV)Picture a hundred-year-old man, staring at a promise his own body has no way of keeping. That's Abraham — hearing God say his children would outnumber the stars, when everything about his life said otherwise. He didn't wait for the odds to improve before he believed. He believed exactly where the odds had run out, because the promise was never resting on what he still had left. It rested on a God who calls into being what does not yet exist. Wherever we've quietly stopped hoping today, this is the God Abraham trusted.This episode is part of our season through Romans.
