It’s No Less A Miracle!

The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.
Psalm 114:3, NLT
It’s No Less a Miracle
When Moses held up his rod at the Red Sea, God pushed back the waters with a strong east wind, and it parted. Two million Israelites walked through this dry path, with walls of water on each side. The hand of God supernaturally made a way. Fast forward forty years to when Joshua sent the priests into the Jordan River with the promise that God would cut off the waters. I’m sure he was expecting a supernatural wind to instantly push the water back. Instead, there was no wind, the water kept flowing, nothing changed visibly. But just because God did it one way doesn’t mean He’s going to do it that way every time. The miracle took place, but it happened upstream where they couldn’t see it. It was no less a miracle. Eventually the waters receded, and the people passed through on dry ground.

It’s easy to have faith when you can see and feel the answer. Real faith is when you don’t see anything happening, but you thank God that He’s working upstream. Stand in faith. It’s already on the way.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that the obstacles that look insurmountable in my life are no problem for You. Thank You that You are about to hurry them out of my way, whether I see the miracle right away or have to wait in faith. Either way, I believe the answer is on the way. 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...

Listen Up!

"After the earthquake a fire, but Adonai was not in the fire. After the fire there was a soft whisper of a voice."   (1 Kings 19:12) Listen Up! Listening is a lost art today. We can be so concerned about expressing our thoughts and opinions that we don't listen closely to others—or even to God. If we're not careful, distractions and busyness can drown out the voice that matters most in our lives, the voice of our heavenly Father. The good news is that you can learn to tune out the negative noise of the world and start listening for God's voice, for hopeful, positive, faith-filled thoughts. Be receptive and listen for His still, small voice on the inside of you. God speaks not only through the Bible but also through godly counsel and His Holy Spirit. All it takes is a simple prayer like the one Samuel prayed in 1 Samuel 3:10 when he said to God, "I am listening." Then be ready to listen for His answer. A Prayer for Today "God, than...
