Go on Faith Alone

Go on Faith Alone

The gospel writers record the event of Jesus sending the twelve disciples into the land of Judea to preach the gospel to the Jews. He commanded them to take no provisions. They went forth on faith alone. They returned no less abated for their courageous journey. They did not question. They did not grumble. They went where Jesus sent them on faith alone. We must not question where God directs us to go or what he fills our hear with a need to do.

Moses had many excuses and arguments to offer to God to avoid the task God had prepared him to do in Egypt. Moses fearfully pleaded with God to choose someone else go to Pharaoh and free God’s children from bondage of four hundred years. Moses did not feel capable or ready to go. Know that God’s will does not always wait until we feel ready. God will pursue us with His plans, and we must be faithful to obey when His call comes to our hearts. He will go with us. We must believe that He will go.

Exodus 4:12 “Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. (13) And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.” (In plain old English: Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.)

God never sends us into battle empty handed. He never wants us to suffer loss or damage. He is a loving God who planned our life before we were. He is a loving God.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Romans Chapter 32:2 “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: (27) Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. (28) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. (31) Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Keith and Kristyn Getty wrote and sings; “In Christ Alone:”

“In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song...
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here, in the love of Christ, I stand

By faith alone...”

Go where God would have you go and go willingly in strong faith. Know God, know peace. 04/20/21 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

A Giving Heart

  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

This Day

  Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Let Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Lets make the best soldier for Him that we can while the day passes into yesterday. Each day bares its on unique set of events. Some recognizable some masked in ignorance. As we near the dawning of a new day, calling upon the Lord is a necessary activity. If we neglect the creat o r and giver of the new day, we simply cannot have a right spirit. Joy comes in the morning only through God’s book of promises. You can depend upon them unless the bible is shelved drawing dust. Open the new day with prayer and an open book. 1 Timothy 4: 4 “ For every creature of God
