Take Jesus at His Word
“Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed.—John 4:50 NIV
Sometimes Jesus asks us to act on faith and take Him at His word; the miracle comes after we follow His instruction. If you are stuck facing a problem pray for God’s guidance and ask for help in believing and trusting His power in your life.
Dear Lord, give me the courage to act on Your word—and to see beyond my problems to Your power.

Whispers in the Wind
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.—John 3:8 (NIV)
