If You Believe!

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
John 11:40
If You Believe
In John 11, Mary and Martha were hurting and disappointed that Jesus had not come quickly enough to heal their brother, Lazarus. Every thought was telling, “It’s not fair that he died. Jesus, why did You let this happen to him?” Jesus told them to trust Him when it didn’t seem good, when sorrow was overwhelming them. They had hoped for a healing, but Jesus had a resurrection in mind.

You may be dealing with an illness, or struggling in a relationship, or have people coming against you. It feels dark, lonely, discouraging. You don’t see how it could ever work out. Stay in faith. God wouldn’t have allowed it if it weren’t going to move you forward. You don’t know what God is doing behind the scenes. This is what faith is all about. The good news is that a resurrection is coming, so to speak, when God vindicates you, heals you, promotes you, restores you. Just believe that you will see the glory of God. When He brings it together, it’s going to work for you and not against you.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that no matter what challenges and setbacks I face, You have the final word over all things. Thank You that any apparent delay in Your response is a sign of something big that’s coming. I believe that You are working behind the scenes and bringing resurrections. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...
