...in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
Romans 4:17
This verse is about Abraham and God calling him the father of many nations when he did not yet have any children. We have a famous song that goes, "Father Abraham had many sons, many sons had Father Abraham." There was a time in his life when Abraham would not have recognized himself in that song.
What would you be surprised to hear in a song about you?
