FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 11:33–36: Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?” “Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?” For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
Only a God as wise as our God could take the fall of Israel and turn it into salvation for the world! No human being can fully know the mind of the Lord; and the more we study His ways, the more we offer Him praise. God is too wise to make plans that will not be fulfilled. Israel did not allow Him to rule, so He overruled! Paul summoned five witnesses, and they all agreed: there is a future for Israel. When Israel recovers from her “fall” and enters into her “fullness,” the world will experience the riches of God’s grace as never before. When Jesus Christ returns and sits on David’s throne to reign over His kingdom, then Israel will be “reconciled” and “received,” and it will be like a resurrection! 1
FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God
Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered. Psalm 40:5
Praise God now for His leadership over your life. He is in control and will never let go.
FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God
The One who created the world, controls the world, and controls me.
FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God
“Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare His praise…” Isaiah 42:12
Dear Father, thank You for always knowing what is best for me. Amen.
