For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 ESV. Faith is the joyful certitude that God does what He promises. Faith unlocks heaven’s rewards and is never bound to earthly limitations or circumstances. Faith unleashes divine promises, matchless wisdom, clarity of vision, and a steady walk through the unseen. If a mustard seed’s portion can toss a mountain into the sea, then it can certainly clear my way forward today. Through faith, I can rest in blessed assurance while the battle rages. Through faith, I maintain triumphant peace in the midst of storms and laughter in the face of adversity. Lord of Hope, Your Word is the fountainhead of faith, therefore I will meditate daily on Your Holy Declarations. By faith, in faith, and through faith, I march forward.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
