Freedom / Confidence

Mark 14: 36 - "Yet not what I will but what you will."

Faith needs to be more than just lip service. Faith that is genuine truly believes in God's promises.

We need to be careful and not fall into the trap of thinking because we are a people of faith that God is obliged to answer our prayers in our way and time.

Our faith, no matter how strong, will never merit favor with God. It won't cause everything to work out the way we want it to or think it should. Isaiah 55:8 . . . your ways are not my ways.

We are called to live faithful lives, but God is not at our beck and call. We need to remember God is a great God who keeps His promises and offers us a life of freedom confidence if simply believe him.

Ask God to nurture and minister to your heart. Give thanks to Him. Walk in grace and seek to live holy and perfect lives before God.
