0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net.
0:05.7	Romans chapter 4, verses 20 through 22, no unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God,
0:12.2	but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God.
0:15.9	Fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised, that is why his faith was
0:22.2	counted to him as a righteousness. I love those verses this description of Abraham.
0:29.1	No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God. What a picture to have such confidence
0:37.6	in the promise of God, in the many promises of God, that you don't waver through unbelief.
0:44.8	Instead, he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God. So Abraham was waiting
0:51.8	year after year after year for God to be faithful to his promise to provide him and Sarah,
0:58.2	a child, and he didn't waver. He actually grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God

1:35.3	as he gave glory to God fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. And that is
1:39.9	why his faith was counted to him as righteousness. Not even his works, the emphasis here in Romans
1:45.9	for is on his faith. In God, trust in God that led to righteousness and obedience flows from
1:54.4	faith-filled righteousness. And I just want to encourage anyone who's listening to this right now
2:00.1	who's going through a dark day, dark season, where you're struggling in your faith. Fill your mind
2:06.9	in your heart today and tomorrow all throughout these days with the promises of God and believe
2:14.6	that God is faithful and able. And he will do what he has promised. I was singing the other day
