Day 30
Read each of these verses
John 6:29, Mark 5:36, Matthew 27:42, & Luke 1:20
What is the one significant word that is used in each of these verses?
BELIEVE IN HIM
“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent” (John 6:29). This, of course, is a call to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and having believed, to receive eternal life. It is a call, first to saving faith. However, it is secondarily a reminder that every moment and every situation of every believer’s life calls for the same faith – not to be saved all over again – but to have complete confidence in; trust and faith in; reliance upon Jesus for every moment and every situation! Jesus founded our church; He planted it in our community. He saved each one who has believed in Him; HE WILL NOT FAIL US TODAY! Believe in Him! This is a critical Kingdom priority for all those who long to see Christ exalted and His Kingdom advanced. Believe!
PRAY…
Lord Jesus, I am beginning to understand that the greatest work I can ever do is simply to believe in You! In fact, I recognize that there are no works for me to do to gain salvation. Neither are there any works I can do as Your child to please you more than to believe in You! Help me today to trust You. Focus my thoughts on Your mighty power, not my own limited abilities. Keep my eyes f ixed on You, Lord, when I am tempted to look at the overwhelming odds against me. Move my feet forward in faith when I am frozen in place by unanswered questions and unknown destinations. I have believed in You Jesus! Thank You for saving me. Now give me grace to keep believing in You in every moment of my life and in every situation. In Your strong Name I pray, Amen.
