If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.—Matthew 10:14 (NIV)
“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.
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.—Matthew 10:14 (NIV)
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
Worry takes a tremendous amount of energy and often robs us of sleep and joy. Pray for the strength to follow the Lord’s instruction and let go of your fears. Take His words to heart—“Fear not!”—and feel a spark of excitement grow into joy.
