Sitting on His Promise

我曾以為信心是出自我自己，
我以為我要想盡方法去完成神的應許。

但原來，我要做的只有一件事 —
安息在祂的信實裡。

— 撒拉

「同樣因著信，不能生育的撒拉，自己雖然過了年齡，還是領受了懷孕生子的能力，原來她認為向她應許的那一位是信實的。」
(希伯來書 11:11)

I thought faith had to be generated by myself.
I thought I had to use my strength to accomplish the promises of God.

But I finally realised all I have to do is only ONE thing —
Rest in His Faithfulness.

— Sarah

“Sarah’s faith embraced the miracle power to conceive even though she was barren and was past the age of childbearing, for the authority of her faith 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆, and she tapped into his faithfulness.”
(Hebrews 11:11 TPT)

送給每一位面對生育問題的妳：

我禱告撒拉的信心能成為妳的鼓勵，
她90歲但仍然能生育，
原因是她相信神曾經對她和她丈夫說的話。

今天妳可能用了很多各樣不同的方法，
但最首先的一件事是，
要安坐在神對妳的應許中 — 
就是祂要祝福妳的後裔，妳孩子的孩子，就像繁星一樣。
（申命記 7:9）
讓祂的信實成為妳心最可靠的承托吧！

To ladies who have been facing difficulties on bearing children,

I am praying that the faith of Sarah to be filled in you,
as Sarah still could conceive even at her 90.
This is because of what God had promised to her and her husband.

Today, you might have been trying with a lot of methods,
But I want to encourage you one thing —
Sit and rest on HIs Promise to you.
— His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who dlove Him and keep His commandments; (Deuteronomy 7:9)
Let His Faithfulness be your safest support!
