Ask with Faith!!!
James 1:6-8But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.(NIV)
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (NIV)
Faith is a powerful tool in the heart of people who understand what faith is. Faith is the substance or foundation of things hoped for, the assurance (confidence) of things not seen. In short, we believe in God through our faith in Him. Our confidence is in Him and Him alone.
One of the things we need to do as we wait on God, is to pray and seek His answer. God shows us how to listen for Him and His direction for our lives through the reading and studying of His Word, the Bible. It is difficult to understand His answer if we do not study in the way He speaks to us.
I personally carry my favorite translation in New Testament form with Psalms and Proverbs. It is always nearby. When I would eat lunch, I would find a place to be alone and read the Bible. This has always encouraged me. I now find myself looking for opportunities to read and study the Word of God. It makes such a difference in my walk with the Lord.
Key Thought: Build your faith in Christ as you seek to learn more about God so when you go to Him you can ask in faith.
Our stand is in our confidence and faith as we stand on the promises of God, daily becoming more familiar with how He speaks to us through His Word.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, May I never be wavering when I come to You asking in faith to supply my needs. Give me time in my schedule to seek you more and give me a heart that is after YOU!! In Jesus name I pray, Amen (Jeremiah 29: 11-13)
