TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:"No unbelief or distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God" Romans 4:20
TODAY'S WORD: Scripture tells us that faith without works is dead. In other words, if the faith inside of us doesn't get expression through our actions and words, it will no longer be alive. If we don't use it, we will lose it, so to speak. We have to step out in faith in order to keep faith alive. Every person has been given a measure of faith by God. When we hear the truth of God's Word, we receive more faith. That's why it's so important to put the Word of God inside of you because when you do, you are building your faith. To keep that faith alive and thriving, we have to put it to use. One way to put your faith into action is through praise and worship. Praise is a supernatural force that causes you to stand strong in faith even when your thoughts or circumstances are coming against the truth. Praise keeps your thoughts going in the right direction. It's hard to be negative when you are declaring the goodness of God! Yesterday our sermon message posed the question "Am I good enough?" and we found that through Christ just as John the Baptist learned we are all good enough. May we take praise in that fact and allow Christ to work in us and through us and praise Him for that with all faith. Selah people' and friends today, let praise make you stable and strong. Put that faith in your heart into action. Look for reasons to thank God. As you do, you'll feel that inner strength and be empowered to move forward into victory all the days of your life.
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:"Heavenly Father, today I choose to bless Your name. I thank You for life. I thank You for breath. I thank You for provision, healing, strength and joy. Today I choose to put my faith in action by praising You all day long. In Jesus' Name. Amen." In Christ service, http://selahmedia.tripod.com Recent revival sermon: http://selahchurch.tripod.com |
