His promises are stronger than our doubts

"Sarah laughed in herself, saying : now that I am worn out, will I still have desires ? My Lord also is old." Genesis 18:11

Abraham and Sara had received a promise : the birth of a child. Unfortunately, time passed and the hoped-for child never arrived. Now they were old. When the Lord repeated the promise, saying : "Sara will have a son next year." (Genesis 18:10), she laughed. Impossible ! Unrealizable ! And yet, the following year, they had a son whom they called Isaac, meaning "he laughs." This name was given as a testimony, a reminder. This name implies that even if you doubt, what God promises, it accomplishes it.

God's sovereignty does not depend on your intuition or your impression.

The Word of God and its promises are not based on your emotions or your feelings. They are not "yes" and not "amen" in you but in Jesus: "For all the promises of God, it is in Jesus that the" yes "is, and it is also through him that we Let us say "amen" to God for his glory" (2 Corinthians 1:20). In other words, your unbelief prevents you from accepting God's promises, but your doubts do not prevent God from fulfilling his promises.

Sometimes you believe that God has forsaken you, you no longer feel His presence. So will he fulfill his Word, his promises ? God's sovereignty does not depend on your intuition or your impression. The power of God is not through your feelings but through His Word. Yes, our God is : "able to do infinitely beyond all that we ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20).

The Lord is not limited by your impossibilities, your emotions, your feelings. His power rests on his Word and not on you. What Grace ! Do not underestimate God, it is greater than your doubts.

A prayer for today

Lord, I realize that it is in you that your promises are realized and not in me. You are not limited by my fears, thank God.
