believing God inspite of circumstances

Romans 4:18
who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

God has a promise for all our lives.... yet God allows circumstance to test our faith in His promise... wat is the promise that God has given to you? a ministry? a spouse? a breakthru in finances? family reconciliation or salvation? vindication from injustice? a promotion? watever God has promised you... God sometimes likes to test your faith.... for Abraham, God gave Abraham everything such as riches, a beautiful wife, many servants, prosperous business and good health...Abraham had all of God's blessings yet there was one area that GOd choose to test Abraham's faith.... Like Abraham, all christians are always blessed by God in many areas so we must always be thankful... yet GOd still choose an area that means alot to us to test us... for Abraham it is a longing to be a father of many nations... God promised him that and Abraham had such a longing and desire... God tested Abraham and allowed him to wait and wait till he became 99years old before the promise came to pass..... today God wants you to believe like Abraham till the promise that God promise you come to pass.... wld you give God the glory by believing His promises inspite of your circumstances? It shall surely come to pass like Abraham, Isaac came as God had promised.

Romans 4:20-22
He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to GOd, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness."
