Faith For Yourself

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

And lean not on your own understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5,6

I was speaking to a friend this morning who confessed that he had difficulties believing God’s promises for himself.
I identified with him immediately because at times I suffer from the same faulty thoughts and emotions.
In the midst of trials and darkness I would wonder if there would ever be light at the end of the tunnel,
would a certain situation ever improve?

I had the faith to believe – for others – but not always for myself.

The faith to believe for everything comes straight from God’s Word.
Unbelief and its evil twin, discouragement, smell like smoke;
they come straight from the pit of hell,
from the author of all lies.
“Faith comes from hearing, and hearing (straight) from the Word of God.
Here are just a couple things that the Lord wants to tell you:

“You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.”
Phil.4:13

“Fear not, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10

Beloved, God has you in the palm of His hand;
read His promises and declare them over yourself!
