Day of Praise

Sa, Oct 27 "Day of Praise"

"Jesus said to him, 'I will go and heal him.' The centurion replied, 'Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.'" - Matthew 8:7-8

As with the centurion, the one who was in charge of 100 men, believe it because it's true -- Jesus needs only to say the word, and it will be.

In the beginning, God only said "Let there be light," and there was light.

And so it has been ever since, in that God only needs to say the word, and it is.

So when Jesus, on the cross, says "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," then we are forgiven. He said it, and it is done.

What need ye today?

Believe that God need only say the word, and it will be.

Such is the power and blessing of God's word in our lives.

Dear God, send your Holy Spirit to work such a simple and yet profound faith in us. Give us radical confidence in your word. And give us radical faith to believe that whatever you say, it will not only be, but it will be best for us, as you lead us in eternal and everlasting life. Amen.

Praise God!
