Faith to Obey

 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 NIV)

 Your faith is going to grow as you exercise it. Even if you feel like the widow of Zarephath with just enough for each day, just enough for each meal, as you keep going and keep exercising your faith, it’s going to grow.

 As long as you keep doing what the Lord asks, stepping out in obedience, your faith is going to keep growing, and it’s going to be enough for whatever the Lord has in mind for you.

 This is a pattern that God is in the business of repeating: “Here’s My plan for you. Step out by faith to obey, and as you persevere, I will not fail to meet you and guide you in every situation.”

 When we do what God shows us to do, when we follow God, it works. God has never been defeated or beaten. His will has never led His children down the wrong path.
  His plans won’t go awry. His power is almighty. He’s in control. —M.F & P.A. [1]

 I know of nothing which so stimulates my faith in my Heavenly Father as to look back and reflect on His faithfulness to me in every crisis and every chilling circumstance of life.
 Over and over He has proved His care and concern for my welfare. Again and again I have been conscious of the Good Shepherd’s guidance through dark days and deep valleys. —Phillip Keller
