My New Horizons

Even preachers need to be encouraged from time to time and that certainly happened this morning as I talked with a friend who owns a garage here in Rancho. While I was scheduling some service on our old Ford, Randy and I quickly got into some Kingdom talk which is always our routine. I was encouraged to hear about some of the ways God has answered his prayers and what God is doing in his life these days. We both took time to chew on the fact that faith is really belief plus action, which is actually what the book of James says. But it’s a hard sale today as the world calls this faith of this caliber insanity. But authentic faith does just that. It trusts God even when life just doesn’t make sense. It’s the ‘faith’ that actually trusts that God is who He said He is and does what He said He will do. When looking at the pages of scripture and annals of history, we see that kind of faith all the time. Joshua believed God and called the Hebrews to step into the Jordan at flood stage and they crossed over on dry ground.   D. L. Moody believed God to provide for his evangelistic needs. Tony Dungy believed God to direct his path and he eventually won the Super Bowl. And average guys like Randy and me can trust God to lead us today as well. So be encouraged CHURCH as God’s economy never takes a ‘down turn’ and He always honors those who truly honor Him.
