All Things Are Possible, January 5
Faith in My Life
All things are possible to him that believeth.
Mark 9:23
It is faith that connects us with heaven, and brings us strength for
coping with the powers of darkness. In Christ, God has provided means
for subduing every evil trait, and resisting every temptation, however
strong.
The righteous have ever obtained help from above. How often have
the enemies of God united their strength and wisdom to destroy the
character and influence of a few simple persons who trusted in God. But
because the Lord was for them, none could prevail against them.... Let
them be separated from their idols and from the world, and the world will
not separate them from God. Christ is our present, all-sufficient Saviour.
In Him all fullness dwells. It is the privilege of Christians to know indeed
that Christ is in them of a truth. “This is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith.” All things are possible to him that believeth; and
whatsoever things we desire when we pray, if we believe that we receive
them we shall have them. This faith will penetrate the darkest cloud and
bring rays of light and hope to the drooping, desponding soul. It is the
absence of this faith and trust which brings perplexity, distressing fears,
and surmisings of evil. God will do great things for His people when
they put their entire trust in Him.
Through faith God’s children have “subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched
the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were
made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the
aliens.” And through faith we today are to reach the heights of God’s
purpose for us.
