DO YOU BELIEVE? (12-06-12)


Matthew 9:28
“Do you believe that I can do this?”

I was able to watched “Magic Tricks…Revealed” on TV.  This show explains, or reveals, the different magic tricks that the magician employs.  And, as it turned out, those are not really magic but a thoroughly conceptualized routines, contraptions and sleight of the hand, as they call it.

And so watching a magic show would never be the same again.  With the mystery gone, the excitement goes with it.

The same is true with our faith in God - once we start knowing what will happen to us tomorrow, then our lives become nothing but mere magical routine.  We try to control everything in our powers and totally forget what God can do for us…

So, I would rather have a mysterious life that is totally dependent on the Lord, knowing and believing fully that He can do everything for me.

Lord Jesus, You did explained to us that we can have the ability to move mountains and trees, if we only have the faith the size of a mustard seed.

You have challenged our whole being, that our life must be lived in total faith in You - to follow and say what You believe is right, without doubting! 

For without faith, it is impossible to please You, Oh Lord, for we must constantly come to You; must always believe that You would reward those who diligently seek You and Your will (Hebrews 11:6).

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, I know that faith is more precious than any gold or riches and due to this, that I would be continuously tested for my faith.  Help me cultivate my faith, Oh Lord, that I may do greater things, and even move mountains, all for the glory of Your mighty name.  Amen +

The Lord is my light and my salvation.
