Fuel for Your Faith!

 

I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me…you restored my health…you kept me from falling into the pit of death.

Psalm 30:1–3

Fuel for Your Faith

There are things in your past that should have stopped you. It may have been an illness, an accident, people who were against you, a bad childhood, but you’re still standing, still blessed, still happy, still victorious. That’s a sign the Lord is on your side. Just the fact that you’re here. If some people would have gone through what you’ve been through, they wouldn’t have made it. God didn’t let your enemies triumph over you. Every challenge God has brought you through was designed as fuel for your faith. So when you face new challenges, you can say, “God, You did it for me back then. I know You’ll do it for me now.” You have a history with God. You’ve seen Him make a way where you didn’t see a way. You’ve seen Him have you at the right place at the right time. You’ve seen Him show you mercy when you made a mistake and turn it around even though you didn’t deserve it. When you think a problem is too big, go back and get some fuel. Remember what God has done.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for the history that I have with You and for the mercies that You have shown out in my life. Thank You that I can remember every victory You’ve given me and use it as fuel to build my faith. I believe You are standing beside me and refusing to let my enemies triumph over me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
