Believe God today! 

‘Without faith it is impossible to please God.’ Hebrews 11:6 NIV 

Peter didn’t walk on the water because Jesus lifted him out of the boat and moved him, it was only when he responded to His word that a miracle happened (see Matthew 14:26). How do you walk on water? a) by seeing Jesus in your storm; b) by responding to what He says to you; c) by refusing to be intimidated by your surroundings; d) by doing what others in the boat are afraid to do; and e) by choosing what’s possible, instead of settling for what’s rational. All God needs is something to work with and somebody to work through and the rest, as they say, is history. The only thing that can stop God is your unbelief. Listen: ‘And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith’ (Matthew 13:58 NIV). Since God can’t lie, fail, change or be pleased without faith, you need to make a quality commitment today to developing your own. When you do that, your life will change forever. One day on board a ferryboat, George Müller prayed, ‘Lord, lift this fog so that I can get to church in time to speak.’ As he said ‘Amen’ and rose to his feet, the captain said in amazement, ‘Look, the fog’s lifting!’ Müller replied, ‘Just as I thought.’ Jesus said, ‘Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours’ (Mark 11:24 NIV). Believe God today. 

Prayer Point:

Lord, I know faith involves taking action in response to what You are saying to me. You promised that Your sheep would hear your voice and follow you (see John 10.27). Help me then, first of all, to hear Your voice. Then help me to follow where You are leading me, even when I don’t understand the reason and am unsure of the outcome. It’s enough to know that You are with me.
