ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH

Today’s Text: Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. (Matthew 9:29)

Today’s Thoughts: How much faith do we have when we ask the Lord to intervene? If our prayers were answered only according to our faith, how many of our prayers would be answered? And how well would they be answered? Sometimes the Lord may wait for us to express our faith in Him before He acts. We need to tell Him that we believe He can and will intervene. Sometimes we should even be confident enough to tell others that we believe God will intervene, because when He does intervene, they will know that we truly do serve an absolutely amazing and loving God. We need more faith. God is waiting for us to ask Him for it.

Today’s Testimony: A few weeks ago I had a really rough assignment due. I had so many other things to do that I was far from finished when the due date approached. I therefore had to e-mail my lecturer to apply for an extension.
I e-mailed one of my lecturers, but got no reply, so I decided to e-mail another one. The second lecturer e-mailed me back and said that he had forwarded my application to the module leader. I then waited again, but got no further response. I therefore e-mailed the second lecturer again and told him that I had not received a response and asked if he could help me. By now it was the day before my assignment was due and I was praying that someone would respond and grant me an extension.
I was chatting to a friend about the situation and this is what I said, “God has never let me down. ...Somehow I know He's gonna come through for me with this assignment too. But I still can't seem to stop worrying about it.” Yes I was stilled concerned about my problem, but I had stated that my God had never let me down and that I believed He was going to come through for me, and therefore, though the faith may have been quite small, God intervened.
Just over five minutes after saying those words to my friend I got an e-mail to say that I could have a one-week extension. God is so good!!!
I managed to get my assignment sent the following week, although I knew that it could have been better. I prayed that I had at least sent off enough to pass. Remember before that I said that the Lord Himself is my Tutor? …He helped me with my assignment. I finally got my result back. I got a distinction. My God is so good!!!

Today’s Task: Ask the Lord to increase and strengthen your faith. Know that He can do all things. Tell the Lord that you believe He can and will intervene. Tell others that you know that your God will come through for you. Allow them to become part of the miracle. Trust that God will intervene no matter what you face. Know that if things don’t turn out the way you hoped, God knew of a better plan. He cares about you. Have faith in God – He is faithful.

Today’s Thanks: O Lord I thank You that You always come through for us in the way You know best. I thank You that we can trust in You. Please help us to have faith in You. Please increase and strengthen our faith. Help us to give others the opportunity to be part of the miracles that You perform for us so that they can turn to You and grow in You. I thank you that You are faithful. I thank You that You love us so mush. We love You too. Amen.
