“All things are possible to him that believeth.”
The "all things" do not always come simply for the asking, for the reason that God is ever seeking to teach us the way of faith, and in our training in the faith life there must be room for the trial of faith, the discipline of faith, the patience of faith, the courage of faith, and often many stages are passed before we really realize what is the end of faith, namely, the victory of faith.
Keep on believing God's Word; never be moved away from it by what you see or feel, and thus as you stand steady, enlarged power and experience is being developed. The fact of looking at the apparent contradiction as to God's Word and being unmoved from your position of faith make you stronger on every other line.
Often God delays purposely, and the delay is just as much an answer to your prayer as is the fulfillment when it comes.
From the Book of Job
Steps in Developing Humility:
The knowledge of God leads to humility. Humility is not the self-deprecation with which many of us are often acquainted. Rather, it is the refusal to trust oneself for fulfilment of needs, looking instead of the Lord.
Action Job Invites:
Understand that man’s own righteousness is a vain hope.
Believe that only Christ’s imputed righteousness can allow us to stand before God.
Diligently avoid any form of self-righteousness.
Understand that it makes one unteachable and un-shapable in God’s hand.
Humble yourself regularly in the presence of the Lord. Do not be hasty to reply against God.
Thoughts
. I live in the spirit of prayer. I pray as I walk about, when I lie down, and when I rise up. And the answers are always coming. - George Muller
. We all need grace sooner or later and most likely sooner. If Scripture tells us there is no condemnation in Christ, then our wounded brothers and sisters surely don’t need condemnation from you or me.
. Never leave a lamb behind.
