This week's devotions are written by Redeemer member Bernice Stewart.
He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. Romans 4:20-21
Each Sunday during worship service the assisting minister carries our large Bible from the rear of the sanctuary to the front of the sanctuary and places it on the lectern. Two lessons are read and then a gospel lesson is read from the Bible each week.
Some one asked me once if I believe in the Bible or believe the Bible.
Many times when we say we believe in something it is a belief of mental assent. It's a passive belief which has not reached the heart so that we act upon that belief. However, when we believe it is an action - an active act upon that belief - our faith.
Do you believe what the Word says even though your eyes and your feelings tell you something different? Faith doesn't care what the symptoms are. It doesn't care what the circumstances look like. It's not moved by what the banker says, or the doctor, or the lawyer, or the bill collector.
In other words our actions and responses to the situation trust the mercy and grace of God to prevail.
Prayer: We give thanks God for Your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. AMEN
