Today's Word of Blessing


UNWAVERING FAITH
And without faith it is impossible to please God    (Hebrews 11:6)
Dearly beloved, God has done great things in your life. Instead of praising Him for all His blessings, are you still murmuring? Learn to praise God even in negative situations. He cares for those who trust in Him (Nahum 1:7).

You should get rooted in the love of God. You should never get disheartened when you go through failures and disappointments in life. You must get established in the love of God and become perfect in every respect. The Bible says, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). Cling on to God firmly. Then the Lord will bless you and guide you.

In a particular family, all the sisters except one got married at the right time. Hence she was living in tears. As usual, people began to make fun of her. Even her own parents spoke ill about her. Nevertheless, she clung on to God firmly, spending her time in prayer. She fully believed that God knew all about her needs (Matthew 6:8). She also knew that He would do everything for her at His appointed time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Hence, she did not worry about anything.

This sister’s family was a middle class family. Even so, the son of a very wealthy man heard about the excellent character of this sister and came forward to marry her. While her parents and other sisters were in a lowly state, the Lord exalted her in this world. Because she trusted in Him wholeheartedly, He honoured her in this world.

Today, you too may be lamenting over your poverty. May be you are contemplating suicide. Please place your trust upon the Lord and wait for Him to act. The Bible says, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). Our God is alive even today. He will never let His children down. Cling on to Him firmly and receive His blessings.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You have done great things in my life. I praise You for all the blessings you have showered on me. Continue to bless me. You know all my needs. I wholeheartedly believe that You will perfect everything concerning me at the appointed time. I wait for your mighty miracle. I believe that You will never let me down. Bless me and guide me. Exalt me and make me glad.

In Your matchless name I pray.

Amen.
