Faith stands the test of time bringing joy and results

'When God promised Abraham that he would become the father of many nations, Abraham believed Him. God had also said. "Your descendants will be as numerous as the stars," even though such a promise seemed utterly impossible! And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though he knew he was too old to be a father at the age of one hundred and that Sarah, his wife, had never been able to have children.'...'Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, His faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.

LOOK
'We can rejoice when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us -they help us to learn to endure. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. And expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.'

God didn't give Abraham a child until he was 100 and God called him at 75. Just imagine 35 years without offspring from his wife Sarah. Let us have faith in all things we do. Our work, prayers, everything. Abraham's faith. 'Brought glory to God'
