Be Faithful in a Little!!!

One of the things I have learned in my walk with Christ is that throughout my life, God will seek to grow me in my faith. This is true for all of us. God rewards those who are faithful! He will continually bring us to times when we must trust Him. He will lead us into situations that require a little faith, and if we are faithful, He will then take us into situations that require even greater trust in Him. Each time that we are able to trust God at a higher level, He will reveal more of Himself to us. Our faith and experiencing God are directly linked.

"He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much." Luke 16:10

The best way to tell if we are prepared for a greater revelation of God is to see how faithful we have been with what God has given us. This is one of the foundational principles in God's relationship with us: If we have been faithful with the little He has given us, we are ready to be trusted with more. If we failed to with the little, He will not trust us with more. God will not lead us beyond our present level of trust and obedience to Him. He will return us to our area of unfaithfulness until we are prepared to trust Him! The children of Israel were unwilling to trust God to lead them into the Promised Land and their generation was never again able to move forward with Him.

We stand at an exciting new door of opportunity to know God more intimately every time we believe Him. Every step of faith leads us into a deeper relationship of faith with Him. It is an open invitation to know God more intimately. Are you faithful in little?

May God richly bless you today!! H Trent!

Thinking About Calling Down Fire!?!

James and John were refered to as "the Sons of Thunder" in the Bible. When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community. "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" Luke 9:54. Maybe they felt that through such a show of power, the gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the village in order to further the cause of the gospel. However, Jesus rebuked them! Later, the apostles heard that Samaria had responded to the gospel. Guess who was commissioned to go and help them receive the Holy Spirit? None other but Peter and John! It was God's purpose that the people not be destroyed but saved! God chose not to rain down fire on the village, but to shower it with His Holy Spirit! I wonder what w...

It Is Our Life!!!

One of the things that I find puzzling and troubling today is that so many of us Christians try to live the Christian life in this world today, without reading our Bibles! Many of us will occasionally give it a sporadic look, seeking a pithy thought to help us get through our day. This is sad. The Word of God is not merely a source of helpful suggestions, preventative warnings, or even inspirational thoughts . The Word of God is life itself! But, oh how foolish that many of us are, having the words of life right at our fingertips, and still not bothering to make time to sit down and go through it's pages. "For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess." Deuteronomy 32:47. God gathered the nation of Israel at the edge of the Promised Land to review their pilgrimage with Him. They had just spent 40 years wandering the desert, on a journey that should have...

Into A Storm!!!

There are many believers today that think that because they are in Christ, they are free from trials and tribulations. Life will always be good. However, there are going to be times when storms will come to us. Some of those storms will be the result of the choices we have made, some of them will come as a result of attacks by others, some will come for reasons we don't understand, but some storms will come because Jesus has sent us into them. Consider our passage today: "Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowd. After He had dismissed them, He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone, but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it." Matthew 14:22-24 The disciples were commanded to get into a boat and go across the lake without the physical presence of Christ. They coul...
