Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 26 October 2021

 Faith

“And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?(Mark 4:35-40)

 

Today’s Morsel:  Do you really believe and trust God?  One of the things that will hinder your faith is being afraid of death and dying.  If Christians could overcome this hurdle in their lives, I believe that they could live a more peaceful and joy-filled life.  If the enemy of your soul can cause you to fear death, he will keep putting things and situations in your way to hold you hostage, to keep you from trusting in God and in His abilities.  God wants us to trust in Him and believe that He can do all things and will be there for us.  But if we waver in our faith, we will never know this fully.  We must build our faith daily and allow it to be seen by all.  Let me encourage you today, get over the thought of the fear of dying, get it out of your mind, and enjoy life.

 

Sing:  He’s the only reason I live, and oh what a reason.  He’s the only reason I live, and oh what a reason.  There’s nothing in this world worth living for, it only leaves you empty and longing for more.  He’s the only reason I live, and oh what a reason.

 

Thought For Today: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.(Hebrews 11:6)
