Against all hope

Do you know this scripture? Every person who calls themselves a follower of Christ should know it. It is from Romans 4:18:

"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."

Why should you know it? Because every follower of Christ will come up against an event in their life that will cause them to doubt God. Doubt that He is God. Doubt that He is love. Doubt that He has a perfect plan for our life. At that crossroad, when we feel there is no hope, we have a choice to make. Believe or walk away.

Contemporary Christian songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman came to this crossroad when his youngest daughter, Maria, was killed in 2008. In the midst of his grief, Steven made a choice to believe. It's much better if you hear it in his own words. Listen to his testimony first and then make sure to hear his new song that was born out of his brave decision to believe.
