Revelations 3:10-“Because thou hast kept the word of My Patience.”

Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

FAITH-STRETCHING

Faith is the promise of things hoped for. Faith is stretching patience to the full.

Faith is robust confidence in the Father. Faith is complete trust in His Will.

Faith develops heroics in daily living. Faith grows confidence in God.

Faith is knowing that our Father holds the destiny of all on this sod.

God wants us to wait and to listen. God wants us to do and to be.

God uses faith lessons to stretch us. Stretching will be the making of me.

Faith with patience is tiresome. His hand lovingly carries our load.

Faith is the privilege of service as we stretch into God’s obedience mode.

Stretch, bend and flex in His Service. Untapped gifts no longer dormant become free.

Faith is the awakening of a servant. Lord, may that reviving servant be me?

Journal Jottings or Points to Ponder: If patience is a part of faith, has my patience been stretched lately? List the areas of life for which you have (a) the most faith, (b) the least faith. Beside each on the list, note the fruit of the spirit growing in each. ( Galatians 5: 22) On a scale of 1 to 10, score yourself in the fruit production department. Note the weak areas and do some pruning and fertilizing. Journal the results of your obedience.

Dear Lord, Thank You that YOU are powerful enough to keep Your Promises. Thank You that if I am willing to choose faith, You will meet me there and strengthen me. I ask that You please increase my faith today to cover today’s needs. I know I don’t have to worry about tomorrow’s faith today. By faith, I will trust Your sufficiency for tomorrow.

PS. Lord, thank You for Your Patience with me today and everyday. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.
