Mustard Seed Faith

God's Word: And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith. Genesis 15:6

Wisdom Shared: In our humanity ... A life filled with responsibilities to our respective family; Spouse, children, immediate and extended family members, work - deadlines-co-workers ... Everyday brings a indicative plan of its own. How often can it be said, I have this "To do List" ...and as the day goes along an emergent issue comes along, then the "To do List" is put on hold.  I have come to realization because life happens. God's word will continually remind us through out the scriptures the single point in a particular season of life we currently in over and over again and again.  Each day is a new beginning to do life right.  To trust and believe ... Mary believed... Blessed ... is she [and so are we] who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”  Luke 1:45  It is in the promises of God's Holy Scriptures that give us the confidence in HIM, that he hears our prayers...

As another Christmas celebration has pass, and all through the season window displays in the stores are beautifully lit up with ribbons and bows...tinsel of silver with gold.

One department store holiday mantra; "Believe".  

Each time I see the word sprinkled through out the store and in its displays, all that comes to mind for me ...  Believe in what? Santa Clause? ... Or the real reason for the excitement for the season- Jesus our salvation!  Yes, Beloved, I believe ... You believe all that the Lord has said. We are blessed because we believe, more importantly we are righteous just as Abraham [aka Abram].  God reiterates this point through out the Bible; Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith. Genesis 15:6 ... It was also mentioned:Romans 4:3Romans 4:17 Galatians 3:6 and James 2:23

And for those who don't believe the true faith is in Him Jesus Christ our redeemer who intercedes for us to the Almighty God; maker of the heavens and the earth. The encouragement for you: He answers our prayers; He gives grace and glory through faithful love. He reveals, heals and restores us... Christ brings glory, honor and strength, he is the faithful hope given.  He is the gift that continually is giving; Jesus is the light of the world for those who believe in HIM.  He is the word that came to life. [Recommended reading Isaiah 53]

My prayer for you Beloved, that you believe in the honorable things that will reveal and heal you in each and every area of your life.

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance,

In Christ Love,

O Lord, don’t rebuke your Sons/Daugthers in your anger or discipline them in your rage. Have compassion on us, Lord, for we are weak. Heal us, Lord, for our bones are in agony.  We are sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore us?  Return, O Lord, and rescue your Sons/Daughters. Save us because of your unfailing love. We will commit, submit, delight and trust in you Lord for healing; Body, mind and spirit.  We believe in your truth, your word Father is truth. ...Yes, Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. Thank you for your unfailing love and faithfulness that surrounds us Thank you for the ability to see and believe in Jesus. In Christ name- Amen!
