Luke 1:45 (Nlt) You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.
Mary was told she'd have a baby without a man and against all odds she believed it. She must have been a girl who had an uncomplicated faith in God and although she had a question, she didn't question the integrity of God or what He said. It says she was blessed because she believed. It's so encouraging to know that if we'll do what she did, have uncomplicated faith, and just believe what God has said, we too will be blessed.
Romans 15:13 reminds us 'the God of hope will fill us with all joy and peace in believing.' So believing not only brings God's blessing on our lives, it also brings with it His joy and peace. I'm discovering more and more, it's when we're doubting and not believing we seem to be all miserable and downhearted, so the way out is to simply believe!😊
Jesus Himself said 'all things are possible to Him who believes.' - all things. Wow!
We're called 'Believers' for a reason! We believe!😊 God has given us His own faith to believe and He wants us to use it and be believing Him for something all the time, no matter how small to start with, or how big, because He is well able to do whatever He's promised in His word. Nehemiah 9:8b And You have done what You promised, for You are always true to Your word.
Right now I'm believing for total restoration of my health but I wonder, what promise are you standing on and believing God for at the minute? Whatever it is, don't give up, keep trusting, keep believing because Hebrews 10:35 tells us that if we're patient we will reap a reward! Thank You Lord.😊
