Fully Convinced - Romans 4:20-21

January 6, 2001 has been etched in history as a milestone in my life. It was on that day that I made a vow to commit the rest of my life to my wife and say the "I do." It was on that day that my entire trust and devotion to one woman for all of life was publicly announced and demonstrated to a whole sanctuary of witnesses, but most importantly before my Lord. I was fully convinced that day that Ann was the one and I trusted in her promise to be with me for the rest of her life.

This morning as I was reading in Romans I was struck by 4:20-21. Talking about Abraham the Apostle Paul writes,

No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.

Abraham grew stronger in the simple trust and devotion to the promise the Lord had made him. He beleived that God would do exactly what he promised he would do. Abraham was fully convinced. Are we fully convinced?

I look back on that wedding day and remember how I was unwavering in my commitment and fully convinced that Ann was the one for me. How much more should I,and you,be fully convinced that God will keep his promise.

God is able. Be fully convinced of that!
