Ponder this for a moment…We see great accomplishments throughout Scripture where there is faith in God. We also see great failure where there is lack of faith in God. It is one thing to say that God is my strength and I will trust in Him, it is truly another to be in a place of faith and trust. When Abraham failed to trust God, he lied to the Egyptians about Sarah. When Abraham trusted God with his son Isaac, on the altar, he truly began to step into his destiny with God. When the nation of Israel failed to trust God, they were not allowed to enter into the Promised Land. Forty years later, when they trusted God, a new generation went into the Promised Land led by Caleb and Joshua, who had faith in God’s ability to defeat the enemy. The lack of faith throughout the Israelite army allowed a giant named Goliath to send enormous fear into the army of God, making them a cowardly bunch. Through faith, a small shepherd boy named David defeated the giant and set an entire army free. When Elijah trusted God, he won one of the most amazing battles….. defeating over 400 prophets of Baal. When Peter trusted God, he achieved a feat no other man had accomplished……walking on water. The significance in this piece of Scripture is not walking on water, but faith in God. In every case, where faith is the ingredient, faith makes the difference. It is not faith in us, but in the only true and living God that will always carry us through. The enemy will always lie to us and try to cause doubt which can sink us but we get to choose whether profess the truth, stand in faith and rise to the occasion, or listen to the lies of the enemy and sink. Faith in God makes the difference. I encourage you today, stand on the truth of the mighty Word of God. Know that He is with you now, and forever more to fight your battles. Your battles are His battles and He has given you the victory!! It might not look like it right now, but you are more than a conqueror, you are the victor by faith, in Jesus name!!! “The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!”(EX 15:3) GLORY TO THE WARRIOR!! TO THE LAMB OF GOD!! PRAISE JESUS THE HOPE OF THE WORLD!! ~Dave H. SHCM
