"In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, "So shall your offspring be." He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. 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. That is why his faith was counted to him as righteousness."

Things feel crazy and uncertain to me right now but the essence of faith is believing in the promise of God despite the impossibility of the circumstance. God is the God of the impossible. He longs to make a roadway in the wilderness and streams in the desert for those who trust Him.
