Romans 4:20 – He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Do you know how powerful praise is? Praise is putting your faith into action. Just as putting your physical body into action makes it grow stronger, putting your faith into action through prayer and thanksgiving will cause it to grow strong, too!
It’s amazing what this verse says about Abraham: No unbelief made him stagger regarding the promise of God. To stagger actually means to waver, to go back and forth. It’s a very unsteady posture. Spiritual staggering is when we go back and forth in believing the promises of God. Spiritual wavering shows up in our words and actions. When you speak contrary to God’s promises, you are staggering and unsteady. Notice this verse didn’t say that Abraham never had unbelief or doubting thoughts. It says that he didn’t stagger–he didn’t allow his words or actions to go against God no matter what he was thinking. He took captive every thought and stood strong through His praise and worship! See, praise makes you stable. It makes you strong. It’s hard to be negative when you are singing a song of praise to Him.
Decide today to stand strong in worship. Put your faith into action with your words and watch what God will do on your behalf!
Heavenly Father, today I choose to bless Your name. I thank You for life. I thank You for breath. I thank You for provision, healing, strength, and joy. I praise You for abundantly supplying all my needs so that I can be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
