Do you ever struggle with your role thinking others are called to do more important or valuable work? In Nehemiah 3:26-31 some workers were called to do more than others. Be encouraged: all work done for God is significant and valued by God. The most important thing is to be obedient to what God called us to do. Lord Transform us into a mountain moving faith, increase our faith. Teach us how to “walk by faith” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Give us strength to stand strong on your promises and believe Your every word. We don’t want to be like the people who did not profit from hearing the Word because it wasn’t mixed with faith (Hebrews 4:2). I know that “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” ( Romans10:17). Make our faith increase every time we hear or read Your Word. Help us to believe for Your promises to be fulfilled in us. We pray that the genuineness of our faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even when it is tested by fire, will be glorifying to You, Lord 1 Peter 1:7).
We know “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). And know we have been “saved through faith,” and it is a gift from You (Ephesians 2:8). Increase our faith so that we can pray in power. Give us faith to believe for healing every time we pray for the sick. We don’t want to see a need and then not have faith strong enough to pray and believe for the situation to change Help us to take the “shield of faith” to “quench all the fiery of the wicked one” (Ephesians 6:16). Help us “to ask in faith, with no doubting.” For we know that “he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” we know that a doubter is double minded and unstable, and will not receive anything from You (James 1:6-8). we know that “whatever that is not from faith is sin” (Romans 14:23). We confess any doubt we have as sin before You, and we ask You to forgive us. we don’t want to hinder what You want to do in and through us because of doubt. Increase our faith daily so that we can move mountains in Your name. Amen One of the greatest problems many people have today is that they do not think well of themselves. The Lord commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves Mat 19:19 therefore it is as important to love ourselves as it is to love others. Be stable, rooted and grounded in Gods Love always & you will succeed.
Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.
Ecclesiastes 7:8-9 better is the end of the thing than the beginning of it, and the patient in spirit are better than the proud in spirit. Do not be quick in spirit to be angry or vexed for anger or vexation lodge in the bosom of fools Has life ever seemed so overwhelming that you wanted to run away and hide? You can be sure of God's eternal protection and ability to be your refuse see Psalm 61:3-4 Whether we need Gods strength or comfort He will be there in our time of need.
Gal 5:13-14 teaches us that there is a great freedom belonging to God. Freedom is not the absence of morality, but the freedom to serve others in love.
We need to thank the Lord for setting us free from sin and we need to ask Him to help us to experience an even more deep joy in serving others. |
