Believe

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before Him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that He might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, He considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform.” Romans 4v17-21 (KJV)

I would like to encourage us to take God at His Word, to hold on to Him and to believe in Him; regardless of what you see and don’t see. It was said that Abraham believed God and it was counted unto Him for righteousness (Romans 4v3). Of Mary, Elizabeth said “And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” (Luke 1v45, KJV). There was a man named Jarius, who came to Jesus because his daughter was ill. As Jesus was making His way over to see Jarius’ daughter, some people came and said, do not bother the Master, your daughter is dead. Mark 5v36 (KJV) says “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.” The Amplified says “Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.” The Living Bible puts it this way “But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jarius, “Don’t be afraid. Just trust Me.”” Beloved, I don’t know what situation seems “dead” in your eyes today – Don’t be afraid, trust God, keep on believing in Jesus… and you will see the glory of God in Jesus name, amen.
