A reminder for
today
For we have heard of
your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God's people. (Colossians 1:4)
Wow! Imagine that. Imagine someone describes you and they
start with “We have heard of you faith in Jesus and you love for all God’s
people”. I think that this is probably the most awesome thing to hear and to be
that person that lives in such a faith that other describes you by it. This is
my desire. I want other to see my faith and feel my faith. It is the one thing
that sets us apart from the average crowd and that is our faith in Jesus
Christ.
Jesus said that with faith you can move mountains. He also
said that we will be able to do the same things He did with the power of the
Holy Spirit that lives in us. When I think about faith I always think about
Peter as he called out to the Lord when they were in the boat. He wanted to
walk on the water towards the Lord. He started of doing so well, but as he
started to look at the storm around him and He lost focus on the Lord, he
started to sink. Jesus asked Him why his faith was so weak.
It is the same with us. We start of good but the storms of
life and the challenges we face breaks our focus on the Lord and we lose faith.
So today I want you to realign you focus with the Lord and
renew your faith so that we will walk on water through our storms and move the
mountains that is in our way. So Peter
went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But
when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink.
"Save me, Lord!" he shouted. Jesus immediately reached out and
grabbed him. "You have so little faith," Jesus said. "Why did
you doubt me?" (Matthew 14) Do
not doubt in the Lord and stand firm in your faith.
Lord, renew our faith and build our faith so that we will
move mountains. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
