THE POWER OF FAITH!
Stella Dhinakaran
My dearly Beloved
In this world today because of so many afflictions and trials we lose heart. We live in fear all the time unsure of what the next day is going to bring with it. We think the Lord has forgotten us and does not love us anymore. But it is not so.
In the Bible, in John 11 chapter, we see a family of two sisters Martha and Mary and their brother Lazarus. They loved the Lord dearly. He too loved them very much. When Lazarus was sick, Jesus was in another place and word was sent to Him by Lazarus sisters. But He did not go immediately. But when He went to their place after four days, Lazarus was already dead. Imagine the sorrow of that family. The sisters were crying. But, as soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him. She cried out, Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. The Lord then said, Your brother will rise again (John 11:23). Martha replied, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Look at the lack of faith in her! She said so because she did not know who He was. Unlike Mary, she did not seek the Lord. She did not have that kind of faith.
Beloved, lack of faith is certainly because we do not seek the Lord. He is always ready and willing to help you. Hebrews 11:6 says about this, He who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Keep this in your mind from today. Do not despair. Do not lose your heart during times of afflictions. Hold on to the Lord firmly and say My Lord lives; He will not forsake me. That is called the Power of Faith!
Prayer
Dear Lord
I have lost all hope in life. I am in great despair. I have no one to help me. I need you Lord. I have only You whom I can rely on. Father, in Your mercy look upon my afflictions and deliver me. Forgive me my unbelief. Fill me with Your faith that I may always walk so in life. Lord thank You for hearing my prayers and answering them. Bless You Lord!
In Jesus name
Amen!
