Faith In The Power of God

 Your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God - 1 Corinthians 2:5.

                     The wisdom of men is foolishness before God. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God - 1 Corinthians 3:19. Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? - 1 Corinthians 1:20. Let us not depend on the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Our God is all powerful and His power is unlimited. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite - Psalm 147:5.

                 Faith in the power of God was demonstrated by a woman in the Bible who suffered for twelve long years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse - Mark 5:26. She spoke the word of faith to herself. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well”- Mark 5:28. She touched Jesus’ hem of the garment with faith in the power of God and got healed.

                   Peter says that we are protected by God’s power through faith (1 Peter 1:5). Let us rest on God's power by speaking His Word in faith to the things in our lives that needs to be changed. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God - 2 Corinthians 3:5. Let our faith be on God’s power and not in the wisdom of men. With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible - Mark 10:27.

                                       
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let our faith be always in Your power and not in the wisdom of men. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
