Today’s Bible Verse
Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.
Ephesians 3:20 (TPT)
No Doubt
“Never doubt.” That’s probably one area where most excel. Doubt. Uncertainty. If the adversary can get you and me in a position of doubt, we are no longer in the life of faith. Doubt cancels faith. Doubt terminates the power of God in our lives. Doubt is a dream crusher. Doubt is a hope killer.
Paul the Apostle wrote the book of Ephesians while he was imprisoned. He was a prisoner, proclaiming the life of faith! In this state of imprisonment, he tells us, never doubt. Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this! Paul didn’t say, “Well overall, you can believe; a little doubt is okay.” No. He said, “Never!”
We can’t take our eyes off of the Dream Giver, the Way Maker, the Life-Giver, and expect to live the extraordinary life of faith. We can’t put our eyes on the challenges and difficult circumstances and expect to receive His miraculous power. We must dare to believe God and never doubt as Paul tells us.
That mighty power of God, if we allow it, will work in us and through us! God has given us this gift through His Son, Jesus! This is our Christ-given gift! Let us be strengthened in His Spirit that He may dwell in our hearts through faith! (Pastor Annette Sagarnaga, Word of Life Arizona)
My Life of Faith
Many circumstances in my life gave me the opportunity to doubt, and quite honestly, doubted I have. But I have also turned opportunities of doubt into stances of faith. Those stances of faith brought victories. Walking by faith and not by sight has been a driving force in my walk with God. Keeping my eyes on Jesus and trusting in Him has had to be my posture to run the race set before me!
God has been faithful, and we have seen His miracle-working power in our lives time and time again: the miracle birth of our daughter, my husband’s deliverance from cancer, and so much more! Breakthrough after breakthrough! There’s no doubt that God has been faithful!
Today’s Declaration
Father, just like Paul, we desire to proclaim and live the life of faith to work in and through us! We know that You will outdo our wildest dreams when we do not doubt! Today, we choose to persevere and remain rooted and grounded in the life of faith! In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
