HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH!

From the desk of Dr. Mary Tisdale Green
RECOVER ALL WEDNESDAY

1 Samuel 30:8“And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.”

HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH!

If God said it, that settles it. When external circumstances come to try what we know deep within,  doubt rears its ugly head.
The enemy attempts to manipulate our thinking and use the  circumstances to build a case against our faith in  God’s word.
If we’re not careful, we will question what God has spoken to us, revealed to us, and assured us of in His word. Suddenly, that once strong hope for our positive outcome will begin to fade, because of the negative evidence we perceive with our natural eyes.
But I’m encouraging you today to hold onto your faith despite what obstacles come to challenge you. Though our eyes and our circumstances can play tricks on us, God’s word remains sure. Cling tightly to your confidence in God,1 John 5:14 “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:”
 Hebrews 11:1  “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
Rely on what you know in your spirit, even when what you see with your eyes does not corroborate that belief.
 “And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.”
holding onto your faith, even when circumstances change and look bad, trust that He is “faithful who made the promise.”

PRAYER: IF YOU CAN BELIEVE, YOU CAN RECEIVE IT.  RECOVER ALL by holding to what God has promised until it's revealed. In Jesus name, Amen.
