Daily Devotional

Now, what the eyes see usually says more than what the Bible says. We look at our circumstances and ask God, "How can you say there is nothing wrong when ..." or "How can I rejoice when there is nothing to be joyful about?"

And then God reminds you to exercise your faith — the same substance that brings things that are not into existence. You see, Jesus has already defeated the enemy. Satan has lost the battle already. But he is a worthy adversary. He will not go down without a fight. And when he attacks, God says that we must take up our shield of faith so that we can clench all the fiery darts of the evil one. The Word of God has given you the power to talk into existence that which is according to Gods will for your life. That includes spiritual, mental, physical and social blessings.

Paul writes in Romans 12:3 that we have all been given "the measure of faith." Not a measure, but the same measure that every other Christian can exercise. The victory over your circumstances is dependent on how effectively you exercise the measure of faith that God has given you.

Remember that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him; He rewards those that give God their everything. Put your faith and trust in God in every circumstance — not only the big ones — but in EVERY circumstance. He will reward you when you give Him your everything. God does not want pieces of you. He wants your mind, body, soul and spirit surrendered to Him.

He wants you to trust in Him with your everything. And finally, remember that Gods Word says, "NOW faith is." Not tomorrow. Not yesterday. Not when you are ready. Now is the time to put your trust in God for your deliverance. There is no better time than right now to cast your cares upon Him and allow Him to transform your life.
