Thought For Today - September 30
Faith!
By: Robert A. Searles

     Faith, which is a gift from God, is the ability to believe the seemingly impossible things which God has promised and is able to do for us.  Our faith is not strong enough to accomplish much for God.  Faith comes by praying, fasting, and hearing the  word of God.

     God grants the power and faith to expect great things from him and to do great things for his  glory when we sincerely draw near unto him, and seek his face and fellowship.If we could have genuine faith, even as small as a grain of mustard seed, and if we are in fellowship with God, nothing shall be impossible for us.

     “And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and sore vexed - for offtimes he falleth into the  fire, and oft into the water.  And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.  Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation , how long shall I be with you?  How long shall I suffer you?  Bring him hither to me. And  Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.  Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, why could not we cast him out?  And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible unto you.  Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17: 14-21.
