I wanted to share with you a passage from one of my favorite devotionals, Streams In The Desert. It reads, “Dear Christian, remember to take good care of your faith, for faith is the only way to obtain God’s blessings. Prayer alone cannot bring answers down from His throne, because it is the earnest prayer of one who believes that leads to answers.”
This devotional was first published in 1925. Yet at the ripe old age of 95, the words are still relevant today. Last week I shared with you a message about the importance of seeking the wisdom of God. Today’s message is that as you’re seeking that wisdom, you must have faith in God for the answers.
Luke 22:32 says, “I have prayed for you...that your faith may not fail.” Why would such a prayer be needed? It’s because your human frailty will cause you to stop believing God for what you need and to take matters into your own hands. Inevitably, you find yourself saying what other people say when they’ve tried to do things their own way and it ends up in a hot mess. “Jesus, take the wheel!”
My plea to you is to put your faith in God, pray to him believing that he hears you and will supply your needs, and stop asking him to take the wheel. Let him be your Spiritual Uber! I guarantee, if you put your faith in Him, He will get you where you need to be in every area of your life.
