Good Morning All,
Please forgive the delay in transmission…
The thought today is concerning faith… The Lord Jesus Christ said: “…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20 We all have daily challenges, whether they are great or small they do arise. But it is the many facets of faith that allows us, better yet, enables us to work through them and find peace and victory. None is exempt to the dry season of life, but it is faith that sees us through. Think about the avenues of faith:
By faith we please God…
By faith we believe on Jesus Christ…
By faith the just shall live…
By faith the Lord conquers our enemies…
By faith we are justified…
By faith we have access into the grace of God…
By faith nothing is impossible.
It is through faith that we can ‘do right’ even when we do not want to, trusting that the Lord will bless it and use it to His glory. Through a weary and worn out week, press on by faith, it will pay off in the end.
So no matter the situation (or mountain that needs removing) this day or this week, by faith address the issue. It is only then can and will the Lord work in our lives where the Father is glorified and the Son praise. Faith is not sitting on the sofa and doing nothing, thinking the Lord will just do it for you. Faith is putting ‘legs’ underneath your prayers and trusting the Lord to lead, guide and direct your every thought and action, in the middle of storms and seasons of refreshing.
I pray you have a wonderful day
