THE PROMISE: Faith is Powerful

"Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed." 2 Chronicles 20:20 HCSB

Every life-including yours-is a series of successes and failures, celebrations and disappointments, joys and sorrows. Every step of the way, through every triumph and every tragedy, God will stand by your side and strengthen you if you have faith in Him. Jesus taught His disciples that if they had faith, they could move mountains. You can too!

When you place your faith, your trust, indeed your very life in the hands of Christ Jesus, you’ll be amazed at the marvelous things He can do with you and through you. So, strengthen your faith through praise, through worship, through Guiding Principles #9 (woot-woot!), through bible study, and through prayer. And trust God’s plans.

Have you ever heard your Mom say that to you? How about your Dad? I’m saying it to you now. You have two choices…ignore or embrace. Are you willing, or are you unwilling? With Him, all things are possible, and He stands ready to open the world of possibilities to you if you have faith.

“Faith is an act of the will, a choice, based on the unbreakable Word of a God who cannot lie, and who showed what love and obedience and sacrifice mean, in the person of Jesus Christ.” - Elisabeth Elliot

Our Prayer: Dear God, sometimes this world can be a fearful place, full of uncertainty and doubt. But You are always near and You can overcome any challenge. Give me faith, and let me remember always that with Your love and Your power, I can live courageously and faithfully today and every day. For if God is for me…who can be against me? Amen.
