He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was "counted to him as righteousness."
Looks to me that the strength of my faith grows in proportion to my giving glory to God. And that results in total reliance upon the promises of God.
Therefore if I want my faith to grow, and I do, I need to become more faithful in giving the glory to God in all things.
