BIBLE MEDITATION:
Hebrews 11:1 - “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
People join churches today with wrong
expectations. They think that church membership guarantees blessings and no
burdens. Some think that God is just a heavenly cafeteria. And if it doesn’t
work out as they wish, they say, “Well, it’s not paying off! I thought if I
gave my heart to Jesus, then He would supply everything I wanted and I’d have
no more worries.” People fall away because their expectations are not met. Let
me tell you what real faith is. Real faith is not just receiving from God the
things you want. Real faith is accepting from God the things He gives.
ACTION POINT:
How are your spiritual eyeglasses? Are you
looking at life with the eyes of the Lord and trusting that He will provide,
not necessarily what you want, but what you need?
