I have come to one of those special moments in life when no matter what happens I need more character than I currently have. Now that I write that out, I probably always will need more character than I currently have. I once heard a message about Jesus promise to His disciples that whatever they asked in His name, He would give them. The message interpreted this as meaning character. I wish I knew what message it was now. I could use going back and listening to it! God will develop character in me. I am sure of it! I need a lot of it. I keep vacillating between truth and lies. Tonight I am just trying really hard to remember what Romans defines as faith. I also stood before God tonight and asked Him what I would have to do, so that at the end of my life He would say to me, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Grace. Jesus already did it for me. But if I quit letting God grow my character today and for the rest of my life, would He still say “Well done”?
Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead – since he was about a hundred years old and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God being full persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised. This is why it was credited to him as righteousness. Romans 4
