Tag: What the Bible says about having faith

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-21-24

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Faith is something that we all need to be walking in. This verse is a good reminder for us all today.

Life can take its toll on us at times and cause our faith to get pushed down. It can make us feel like, “what just happened to me?”.

Life. That’s what just happened.

You just never know what we will be facing from one day to the next. And when hard times hit, our faith is surely tested.

Having faith despite what we see or hear going on in our life is really a great opportunity to see God move in our very scary situation!

If we have just a tiny bit of it, nothing is impossible.

That’s awesome news because God has dealt (given to) each of us a measure of this much-needed faith to move mountains with.

We cannot do the impossible without having faith in Him. We need this faith moving, active, and working in our lives daily!

Romans 12:3 (NKJV) 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

When hard times come and we are facing the most devasting thing we have ever had to face, remember that faith in God will help us get over to the other side of whatever we are facing.

What is it today we are needing God to help us with?

Have faith in Him. And whatever He guides us in doing, do it.

We should not talk ourselves out of it or doubt His guidance.

We need to follow Him; stick to Him like glue. He will walk us through it all. Step by step!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-2-23

Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

When we obey God’s will rather than our own, we do so having faith that He will produce the evidence, or results, of our obedience as we step out into the unknown.

We submit our plans and our future to God and trust Him. That’s faith in action, letting Him guide our steps without knowing the end result in advance. We just take it step by step.

Following Jesus often means forfeiting our plans, submitting our heart, our desires and our way of thinking, and taking on a whole new way of living.

Want to see the evidence of things not seen? Want to be a successful and powerful child of God? Let Him lead us in our daily walk.

We may say, “how?. How does the Lord lead us?”.

Through His word, the Holy Bible, which is our guide.

And He also sent us a Helper to bring understanding. The Holy Spirit will help us and give us power and strength over our fleshly desires.

Through His anointing power we will obey God rather than our own desires, and find ourselves walking in such faith and holy living.

1 Peter 1:15-16 (NKJV) 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

Where are we in our lives today? Do we have the faith to step out and submit our plans to Him?

God, help us to trust You in a deeper way.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-13-20

Matthew 14:29-30 (NKJV) 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

Are we looking at things all wrong?

When we face hard times, we can’t look at it as “poor me. I’m all done and washed up. I’m going to lose everything. I’ve failed”.

We have to change the way we see things. Why do we get scared when an opportunity comes and we need Christ to help us? Is it because we don’t like not knowing how it will all play out?

Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water. Now, think about that. Who walks on water? It’s an impossible thing to do, because as soon as you step out onto it, you sink. Gravity pulls you down Immediately.

But with Jesus, He makes what is known to be impossible, to become possible through our faith in Him.

We all have that chance to step out of the boat from time to time.

When we are faced with hard and impossible situations, it is a great opportunity to see where we stand in our faith. It’s a great opportunity for God to help us and show us how He can make the impossible be possible.

If we are facing an impossible situation, there may be a step we need to take, just like Peter. And then we need to hold our faith after we do it.

Don’t start analyzing things, or we will lose it.

Keep our eyes and ears on Christ. He will help us through it all the way if our faith is in Him and we follow.

Take this opportunity and enjoy seeing the impossible become possible! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-15

Romans 1:19-21 (NKJV) 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Trying to figure God out and comprehend Him fully is futile.

God is so far above and beyond our minds, it’s impossible for us to ever put all of the pieces together and figure Him out completely.

Yes, we have His word. And by His word we learn of Him and we get a certain level of understanding. But to walk with God requires faith.

Faith can take us beyond those things that we can’t understand with our minds. Faith can show us things that our minds could never perceive. And faith can go where intellect can’t go.

Does that mean intellectual people can never have faith in God? No. But it does mean that intellectual people will need to accept the fact that there will be some things that they can never explain or fully understand, and move in faith toward God.

You see, it takes faith to walk with God and faith to please God.

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

So if you, or someone you know is having trouble understanding God, or some of the things happening in life, it’s time to stop trying to figure it all out.

Let’s put our trust in the God who is evidenced all around us, in what we see, touch, hear, smell and experience every minute of our lives.

Creation demands a Creator!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-13-15

Numbers 13:27 (NKJV) 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

Moses sent some men to spy out the land that God had given to them.

They brought back some incredible fruit from that land. But they also saw something negative in the land, as well. They let the negative dictate whether or not they could go and possess the land, which God had given to them.

Numbers 13:28 (NKJV) 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.

Their report showed that they were afraid and intimidated. They let what they saw cause fear in their hearts.

One of the men, named Caleb, saw it with eyes of faith. He was ready and willing to do whatever it took to possess the land.

Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

It doesn’t matter how big or bad things may look. Just as Caleb was willing to face it and take possession of what was given to them, so must we be willing to do this when God gives something to us. When it’s too big for us, we have to take faith steps.

Let us go and possess what God has already given to us today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-20-15

Matthew 14:29 (NKJV) 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

Peter obeyed Jesus. When Jesus said Come, Peter came.

Are we ready for when Jesus asks us to come? Are we willing to take the steps we need to take when He calls us out of our boat?

Jesus called Peter out of the boat and onto the water. But maybe Jesus is speaking to our heart today and calling us to a totally different surrounding. Whether a new place to live, or a new job, or it could even be a whole new position in ministry,etc.; somewhere or something we’ve never done before.

Peter had never walked on water before and I’m sure it was quite the experience.

I can just imagine if that was me and Jesus said to come, I’d be like “REALLY? Here? Now? Do I get some special water shoes or something?”

But seriously, we just never know when Jesus is going to call us out of the boat that we are in, and we need to be close to Him and be ready to obey.

If we are close to Him, we will not worry, and no one will change our minds. We will just step out and let God unfold it as we go, and show us His Miraculous Power from above.
