Romans 4:19

Romans 4:19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about. hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

'he considered' -'his faith never quailed, even when he noted the utter impotence of his own body.' (Mof)

"There are those who don't wish to hear about the difficulties. They tell us to always speak positively, 'don't bring up the obstacles'. The person who is always gushing about how wonderful everything is, is something of. simpleton. The word 'considered' speaks of reflection...Abraham knew exactly what he was up against. He looked at the obstacles right in the face, weighed them all up and didn't bat an eye! What did he care? These were only huge problems and his God was greater."

'Abraham DID take into consideration every relevant factor, including his great age and the high improbability, by all natural reckoning, that he would ever have. son...yet he concluded that the certainty of the divine promise outweighed every natural improbability.'
