Have Faith In God

Have Faith in God

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. Mark 11:22

This has been one of those crazy weeks where money has been tight, and in a sense, waiting on God was the ONLY answer. Believe it or not, it wasn't a white-knuckler for a change, but the pressure was on. We came really close to not making payroll.

We thought we knew HOW God would provide -- after all, we were expecting a large check from an estate. Guess what -- that's not how He answered at all. The check didn't come yesterday or today. But payroll was met -- miraculously. After payroll was submitted, the bank called and said that they had mailed the check to the wrong address and they would re-mail it today!

God is NEVER late -- always on time.

One of my daily prayer partners gave this to me this morning:

Faith says, "It's impossible" is the only objection, it can be done! Faith brings God into the scene, and therefore it knows absolutely NOTHING of difficulties -- it laughs at impossibilities.

In the judgment of faith, God is the grand answer to EVERY question -- the grand SOLUTION of every difficulty. It refers all to Him; and hence it matters not in the least to faith whether the need be $600,000 or $600,000,000! No matter, it knows that God is all-sufficient. It funds all its resources in Him.

Unbelief says, "How can such and such things be?" It is full of "Hows"; but faith has one great answer to ten thousand "hows," and that answer is -- GOD!" C. H. Mackintosh

He can provide for you today, too! Can you trust Him? -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK

God's WORD for YOU: Proverbs 17; 2 Samuel 1-2; Luke 14:1-24

Great Quote: How often we say about our earthly friends, "I really would like to have a good quiet settled talk with them so that I can really get to know them." And shouldn't we feel the same about our Heavenly Friend, that we may really get to know Him? These thoughts have taught me the importance of the children of God taking time to commune daily with their Father,so that they may get to know His mind and to understand better what His will is.
