In the Company of the Faithful

DAY 7 OF 10

Faith in the Power of God

“There’s no way my parents would come to know the Lord.”

“It’s impossible for me to experience breakthroughs in this area.”

“I don’t think I can be a full-time working parent and still serve God.”

As finite humans, we experience situations in our lives that seem impossible. These limitations can be very real and appear very daunting. We feel resigned whenever we contemplate these impossible situations and even come to accept that we can do nothing more.

The Israelites themselves faced impossible situations. The militarily superior Egyptian army was hot on their heels, and they had no means of escape with the Red Sea before them. In a later scene, they were instructed to conquer the city of Jericho by marching around the secure fortress with formidable walls. Despite how impossible those situations seemed at that time, the Israelites took God at His word. They had faith in God’s power and eventually had the experience of their lives. They walked on dry land to cross the Red Sea. They saw the walls of Jericho fall and gained victory without even fighting.

The God who brought these miracles for the Israelites is the same God we worship. He is the God of power, and He will accomplish His purposes in our lives. He is neither daunted nor limited by the seeming impossibilities we face. He is more than able to lead us to spiritual breakthroughs and to empower us for His work. We recognise how it all points to God and His glory as we witness His power.

Choosing to have faith in God’s power does not mean that we flippantly dismiss the real limitations we face. It is also not about sweeping things under the carpet and claiming a positive outcome. To have faith in God’s power to precisely squarely face these realities, and despite them, believe that God can still accomplish His purposes.

What spiritual breakthrough are you counting on God for? As we believe in God’s limitless power and avail ourselves to be His vessels, He may very well give us the experience of our lifetime. We can bow in worship.

About this Plan

In the Company of the Faithful

Our walk with Jesus starts when we follow Him by faith. We also only finish strong by faith. We make this journey in the company of the faithful – people across biblical ages who lived with confidence in the unseen God, His Word, and the ultimate reward awaiting at the end. Through their lives, we receive an invitation – to start well and finish strong, fixing our eyes on Jesus.
