faith

Devotional for August 16

Quote by Bruce Coleman: "Have faith in God, and pray for the grace to exercise your faith."

He Has Given Us His Word

9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. Psalm 119:9-16 (KJV)

The Morning Exhortation

Some things are necessary, and most change according to the season. There are two things however, that always remain essential. Have faith in God, and pray for the grace to exercise your faith. All who have done so have never failed. You can read the record of many of the pioneers who have done so in the Faith Hall of Fame written in Hebrews chapter 11. These are our living examples recorded as shining testimonies for all time. This most excellent glory calls to each of us. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-15; Hebrews 11; John 11:35-40; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:13-25; Exodus 25:40; 2 Peter 1:16-21; Luke 12:32; Ephesians 3:17-19; Psalm 72:17-20)
