Walking by Faith
…being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
Romans 4:21
Recommended Reading
John 4:46-54
Faith is keeping our spirits up when circumstances are down. It's basing our attitudes on what is promised in God's Word, not on what is unfolding in our world. Faith is being fully persuaded God has the power to do what He has said.
Once when Jesus was visiting Cana in Galilee, an official came from Capernaum with an urgent request. The man's son was dying, and the man begged Jesus to come heal him. Instead Jesus told the man to return home, for his son would recover. John 4:50-51 (NIV) says, "…the man took Jesus at his word and departed. While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living." This man had literally turned and walked away by faith, and Jesus was as good as His word.
Are you anxious today?
"Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise" (Hebrews 10:23, NLT).
Faith does not wait to understand. We have His word, and if it were not so, He would have told us.
