and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
There is hope in Jesus. There is!! No matter where you are in your life, He can make a way when there seems to be no way. He can cure that disease, open up a door for a job, bring you a mate, erase that depression, provide food for your family. There is nothing impossible with God. Luke 1:37 What we see through our natural eyes may appear dismal but with God's supernatural eyes, everything has a bright future and a way out. If you are in the pit, pray yourself out. The way we carry ourselves in the valley will determine how quickly we move out. A negative attitude does not produce anything good. Our faith in God and in what He can do despite ourselves is what moves the mountains, makes the smallest of seed grow. We will bear much fruit if we put all our faith and trust in Christ Jesus. To trust in Him with all our hearts and not lean on ourselves for it. When we want to make things go quicker, faster, we end up manipulating the situation and often times we interrupt the will of God for our lives. Therefore we can not worry about what we will eat, drink, wear, live, work...He will provide it all. (Matthew 6:31) I have witnessed first hand the power of the living God with multiplying nothing into something. Our seed of faith begins with our hearts and our minds. Believing in the one true God. Our next seed comes in our tithes, our first fruits, not what is left over, not what is in our heart to give, not what we can afford...our first 10% of whatever has come into our homes. That is what is given to the Lord. I know how scary it is to write a check to a church that appears to have more than enough money, but it is not about the church at all...it is about your own personal relationship with God and being obedient to His word. It measures your faith and trust in Christ and the posture of your heart and how you feel about God. My husband and I know the secret to everything we have is our tithes, our love offerings, our biblical belief in Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. So keep your faith in Him. Know there is hope in Him. And keep your eyes on Him. Pray, read the Bible, and show His love to others and watch your life transform into something spiritual and amazing, right before your eyes.
