Bible Verses:
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7
And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do theleast, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much morewill He clothe you, O you of little faith?
“And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.
“And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.
Luke 12:25-30
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. Luke 17:6
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:1-2
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17
Romans 10:17
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. Romans 12:3
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Devotion:
This month I would like to talk a little bit about faith. Having faith and trusting God can be hard. We have to trust Him for everything. Sometimes when things look hard, and life seems to be down, it can be hard to have faith that things will ever change. Lately I have been having some stomach troubles, and I sometimes wonder, "When will I ever be better"? I need to have faith in God that He will heal me in His time.
It can be hard to have faith in the midst of suffering, but it is a must! We also must have faith that God will work in His timing, not ours. We have a lot of power that we don't use. The Bible says that we can tell a mountain to move from here to there and it will if we have faith as a mustard seed....WOW! Mustard seeds are very small...God has given us each a measure of faith.
When times are tough, and it is hard to have faith, don't give up. Faith can move the mountains!
