Mark 11:22 (KJV)
"22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD."
Many times I sit down to do my devotional with absolutely NO idea where the Spirit will lead me. As evidenced by some of my writings, the tendency to wander is something I am familiar with. This morning though, my mind is set on one focal point..... just WHO IS GOD?
Arguably, the most powerful man in the world is one of the elected leaders. The President of the United Stares, or of Russia, or of China would have to be considered some of the most influential leaders of the people living on earth at any given time. But, it is only for a given time!
Conversely, wealth brings with it much power. The wealthiest person alive would command an immense amount of respect. People generally give people with great wealth a certain amount of unearned admiration because they have a perceived higher status in society.
But why does everyone not give HONOR and PRAISE to the ONE being WHO will be here forever and whose wealth is unimaginable? The fact of the matter is, we don't give proper or adequate admiration to the ONE we so casually call "GOD"!
Most meals I bow my head and close my eyes and ask GOD to bless the food HE has provided for me. But do I realize I am asking the Creator of the Universes to care enough about me to bless the food to nourish my body! Can you fathom requesting the President of a large country to care enough about you to give his/her blessings on what you were eating? Or how about asking a multi-billionaire to watch over you while you had a tooth surgically removed?
Yet our GOD, the Ruler of ALL, omnipotent Creator of the Universe, not only cares about our lives, HE sent HIS SON as a ransom for the wretched life I have lived so that I can have a relationship with HIM! Now, since HE loves so, and HE provides even the air I breath, doesn't it stand to reason HE has everything else in my life under HIS control? Why then should we have to be told by JESUS to "HAVE FAITH IN GOD"? HE'S GOT THIS!!!
