CAN YOU BELIEVE?

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."


  Wilhelm Von Humboldt said, "In the moral world there is nothing impossible if we bring a thorough will to it. Man can do everything with himself; but he must not attempt to do too much with others."

Excellent advice. There is nothing impossible for us if we believe. The thing is, however, some of us are not deep believers anymore if ever we were. So it is hard to believe that any thing is possible for us. Perhaps we need to use our faith in God. After all, He did say all things are possible. Could it be our faith is weak because we don't use it often?  Maybe what is lacking is trust. Trust in Him and His word. Hah, believe–trust...perhaps that is what we need to remember.  "All things are possible if you believe." To believe you have to trust.

Prayer:  Lord, sometimes our belief in your word becomes weak and before long our trust seems to sag. TodayI ask you to  shore up my trust in you and strengthen my belief in your word. Amen

Getting and Giving!

  This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. I think this reflects the broader theme of obedience and devotion plus the rewards of faithfully serving our God. This is what Hezekiah instilled in the people. And it works. Hezekiah was blessed by God and prospered. It worked then, it works now. It is important that we wholeheartedly dedicate ourselves to God and obey His commandments. I read somewhere that sacrificial giving is of God's people. But it goes deeper than giving our money, time and talents. It goes down to the core of our sacrificing the necessary things in our own lives so we can draw close to God. Once the people drew close to God they could serve others better. This means we could too. It isn't all about us getting, it is truly about us giving. Blessings!

A Brief Rest

  God said,  "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 God is so gracious to us. He knows when we need rest. Several weeks ago, I had retina surgery and rested my eye. It is healing and I am doing well. During this time I followed the Lord's words and rested. Looking forward to being back within a few days. God blessings to all!

Change In Life

Philip Doddridge wrote "Blest are the humble souls that wait with sweet submission to His will; harmonious all their passions move, and in the midst of storms are still." Sometimes we get very discouraged with ourselves. We try working on the faults we see and it gets us frustrated when we don't see change. Be patient with yourself as you would with others. Just ask God to help you each day change the things that you can change and trust Him to change the things He can change. Change in life is inevitable, but making sure those changes are from God takes prayer and seeking His will for your life.  When change comes that is not of God, it is wise to again, go to prayer and seek His will in the situation and His guidance. Maya Angelou said, "I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." Blessings!
