Faith Without Works Is Dead

Do you believe God can do the impossible?

Do you believe God can do the impossible in Your life?

It’s easy to be amazed by how God works in other people’s lives but sometimes we can struggle with believing that God can do the same impossible things in our life.

Throughout biblical history, God has always delivered – He parted seas, He defeated whole armies, He gives sight to the blind and even raised the dead! Nothing is impossible for Him.

The good news for us is, the God who performed all these miracles is the same God that will perform miracles in our lives.

For us to truly believe in this statement it must show in our actions. Our actions highlight our faith more than our words. As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.”

In Chinkee Tan’s book, Rich God, Poor God, he makes a point that God is moved not by need but by faith and obedience.

He did not perform the miracles in Egypt because the Israelites needed it but because Moses obeyed his commands. God even had to prevail on Moses to face Pharaoh, Moses had little faith but he obeyed anyway! The rest they say is history.

Gideon had little faith and was full of self-doubt. Again, God had to prevail on Gideon but when the man of little faith obeyed, God moved greatly in his life. He defeated armies bigger than his own.

Abraham, while going up the mountain, was full of faith that God will provide for the sacrifice even though  God asked that he sacrifice his only son Isaac. He obeyed without question because God has moved in his life time and time again.

Abraham exercised his faith on every occasion and is proof that when we exercise faith, it grows.

My personal prayer is that I grow in faith. I’m a lot like Gideon – full of self-doubt even when God has already moved in my life. I really need to exercise that faith often.

I hope your faith shows in your actions as well and that you grow in faith every day. Have a blessed day.
