God has a Plan in Everything!

Back in 2015 my church had gone through a series entitled, "OUTRAGEOUS Faith.". As you will see each part in Hebrews 11 starts out with the words, "By Faith..."

(Vs. 3)  "By faith we see the world called into existence by God’s word..."
(Vs. 4)  "By faith Abel brought a better sacrifice to God than Cain..."
(Vs. 5)  "By faith Enoch skipped death completely."
(Vs. 7)  "By faith Noah built a ship in the middle of dry land."
(Vs. 8)  "By faith Abraham, when called to go... obeyed and went." 
(Vs. 9)  "By faith he made his home in the promised land." 
(Vs. 11) "...by faith even Sarah... was enabled to bear children." 
(Vs. 13)  "All these people were still living by faith when they died."
(Vs. 17) "By faith Abraham... offered Isaac as a sacrifice." 
(Vs. 20)  "By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future."  
(Vs. 21)  "By faith Jacob, blessed each of Joseph's sons."
(Vs. 22)  "By faith Joseph... spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt."
(Vs. 23)  "By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months..." 
(Vs. 24)  "By faith Moses... refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter." "
(Vs. 27)  "By faith he (Moses) left Egypt, not fearing the kings anger..." 
(Vs. 28)  "By faith he (Moses) kept the Passover and the application of blood..." 
(Vs. 29)  "By faith the people passed through the Red Sea..." 
(Vs. 30)  "By faith the walls of Jericho fell..." 
(Vs. 31)  "By faith the prostitute Rahab... was not killed."

"These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."    ~ Hebrews 11:39-40 

"By Faith I will...." (Fill in the rest!)
By faith I will trust God in the good times. 
By faith I will trust God in the bad times. 
By faith I will trust God with every situation. 
By faith I will trust God in the times of unknowing. 
By faith I will trust God when things are not going my way. 
By faith I will trust God with my emotions. 


I want to end by asking you a question.  What will YOU do by faith?

Are you feeling alone?!

Have you ever felt alone? Like there was no one there for you? No one to hear you, to lift you up to say it's going to be okay! No one! Have you ever felt like you're sinking and that there's no one to pull you out, to rescue you. In Hebrew 13:5b the Lord said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."  If you think you are alone, I am here to say that you are NOT! If you have a relationship with Christ Jesus our Lord you are NOT alone. The Lord, He will never leave you. He is with you through the storm.  In the book of Matthew the disciples climbed into a boat to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. When evening came a storm came up and as the disciples looked out onto the storm, they were terrified when they saw Jesus walking on the water. They thought He was a ghost . Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid."  Peter answered Him, " Lord if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." Jesus answered, "Come....

"With You I am completely Full"

I wrote these short passages a couple weeks ago and I thought that I would share them with you all! "I may be weak, small, frail, insignificant. But with You, oh Lord, I am strong, mighty, big, important, loved, content. Without You, I am nothing, but with you I am completely full. Fill up my cup and let it overflow!" "Lord all I am I surrender. Give me faith to trust what You say! Give me faith to follow what You want me to do every step of the way. Lord take everything in my life it is Yours. Guide me as I walk the walk of faith. Hear my prayers, o Lord... In Your faithfulness answer me. You are faithful. O God, You hear my cries and You answer me in Your appointed time."
