Consider Not
When God told Abraham that Sarah his wife would conceive and bear a son to him, there was no way possible in the natural realm that it would happen. Abraham and Sarah were past the age of her conceiving or his ability to bring forth seed for conception. And even more realistic in the natural realm was that Sarah had been barren, even in her years of possible conception. Yet God had spoken to Abraham. Let’s look at this passage in the Bible in Romans.
Romans 4:16-21
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all.
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform
Human reason for hope for a child was gone, yet God had spoken. He said that Abraham and Sarah would have a child. They had a choice. They could either believe what they saw in the natural or they could believe what God said. In order to have that kind of faith, they had to consider not the natural circumstances, even when the natural circumstances were screaming: It’s impossible!
That is where you and I are today. All around us, circumstances are screaming: You can’t make it. Look at the mess the world is in. What about high costs? What about my family? What about, what about, what about. Well, what about God and His Word to us? We will CONSIDER NOT the circumstances. But WE WILL CONSIDER OUR GOD! What does His Word say about your circumstance? Believe Him and not your circumstance.
CONSIDER NOT!
