Matthew 14:13
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
14:13 Now when Jesus heard this he went away from there privately in a boat to an isolated place. But when the crowd heard about it, they followed him on foot from the towns.
Romans 4:18-25
4:18 Against hope Abraham
believed
in hope with the result that he became
the father of many nations according to the pronouncement,
“
so will your descendants be.”
4:19 Without being weak in faith, he considered
his own body as dead
(because he was about one hundred years old) and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
4:20 He
did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.
4:21 He was
fully convinced that what God
promised he was also able to do.
4:22 So indeed it was credited to Abraham
as righteousness.
4:23 But the statement it was credited to him was not written only for Abraham’s sake,
4:24 but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
4:25 He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.
Hebrews 11:17-19
11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He had received the promises,
yet he was ready to offer up
his only son.
11:18 God had told him, “
Through Isaac descendants will carry on your name,”
11:19 and he reasoned
that God could even raise him from the dead, and in a sense
he received him back from there.
James 1:5-6
1:5 But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.
1:6 But he must ask in faith without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind.
