Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
Your Faith is the Most Important Ingredient to withstand against any
Trials
‘…The
message…did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith…’Hebrews 4:2 AMP
Today’s Insight
Ingredients facilitates change in taste; it makes food
more delicious! For example, Alka-Seltzer without water has no effervescence,
flour without yeast produces no bread, seeds without sunshine means no flowers,
blue without yellow means no green, an egg without sperm means no baby, a spark
without air produces no flame. Faith makes God’s Word work in your life.
Without it, nothing happens. Talking about the Israelites, Paul said, ‘When the
good news of deliverance…came to them…the message…did not benefit them, because
it was not mixed with faith.’
Kristin Armstrong says: ‘Without specific
ingredients certain results can never be achieved. To make spiritual progress,
it’s not enough to read the Bible or listen to sermons. The activating
ingredient to understanding is faith. After we hear God’s message, we must act
on it…Maybe you’re experiencing bitterness or anger because of a failed
relationship and God told you to put those emotions behind you, but you lack
the will to do it. Let me encourage you; trust God’s Word and act in faith. His
promises will bloom in your life, once you activate your faith.’
Faith is not intellectual
assent, or paying lip service to what you read in God’s Word. It’s acting on
it, confident that God will do what He promised. There’s a difference between
faith and trust. You may believe a chair will hold you, but, only when you sit
down and put your full weight on it, are you trusting it. Getting the idea?
