"…Have faith in God." — Mark 11:22
We are called to be faithful. And what is faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1), and without it we cannot please God. Faith is the foot of the soul: with it we can do all things through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but without it there is neither inclination nor power to do anything in the service of the Lord.
Though a little faith can save, it cannot do great things for God. So we need to increase our faith continually — putting our hope and trust in the Lord and obeying Him. Let us cast all our cares and burdens on Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7), and trust and submit to His promises and His plans.
When we pass through the waters, He will be with us; the rivers shall not overflow us; and when we walk through the fire, we shall not be burned (Isaiah 43:2). This encourages us in the power of God that is manifested in the lives of His children. When we totally submit to the Lord, His purpose and plans are worked out in us. The love of God is beyond human comprehension; let us put our hope, our trust, and our faith in Him.
May the Lord fulfill His purpose and plan for you, and perfect all that concerns you. Amen!
