Believe the Word of God (Sep 28)
Dr Luke – physician, historian
and writer of the longest gospel
account clearly states his purpose
for writing in the opening verses:
That thou might know the certainty
of those things thou has instructed
He begins with details surrounding
the miraculous birth of John the
forerunner and Jesus the Messiah.
Lord, we Will Believe Your Word:
The angel said: Do Not be afraid,
Zacharias, for your prayer is heard;
your wife will bear you a son,
and you shall call his name John…
But behold you will be mute until
the day these things take place
because u did Not Believe my words
which will be fulfilled (Lk 1:13-20)
The angel said: Behold you will
conceive in your womb and bring
forth a Son and shall call His name
Jesus… For with God nothing
will be impossible. Then Mary
said: Let It Be to me According
To Your Word (Luke 1:31-38).
You are Blessed Because You
Believed what the Lord would do
what He said (Luke 1:45). Amen.
Lord, there may be difficulties
in our lives that lingered So Long
that they seem like impossibilities.
But nothing is too difficult for God.
In fact U prefer impossible situation
where Yr power is visibly displayed.
Help us Lord not be discouraged
by the Long unyielding situations.
Help us to endure the long periods
that require faith and patience.
Help us to Wait and Believe for
nothing is impossible with U. Amen.
Lord, even when things does
Not Make Sense, remind me that
Your Word is the ultimate truth.
Even when my faith is weak
and hidden, your promises can
bring it to pass out of hiding.
And I embrace Your promises,
even though they may seem
as impossible because You are
the God who can create new
things out of nothing. Amen.
Lord, help me not to focus on the
problem & be afraid like Zacharias
but instead learn to take courage
like Mary focusing solely on You.
And I embrace Your promises like
Mary and rest the weight of my
circumstance on Your sure word.
For after all You are the God of
the impossible and I rest in You.
And Lord, I look forward to Receive
the Blessing thro Believing. Amen.
