What You Believe

What You Believe

Henry Ford is quoted as saying, "If you think you can do a thing, or think you can't do a thing, you're right."

I have heard the same concept said this way, "If you believe something is not possible, it is not possible, for you."

What these quotes are emphasizing is the importance of belief; but the belief in ourselves.  Belief in ourselves is important and useful in our lives, however, belief in God has unlimited power.  Jesus tells us in Matthew 19:26, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible,"  and when Jesus healed the blind man in Matthew 9:19, Jesus said, "According to your faith let it be done to you."

God created everything, how can we question His ability to do anything.  Sometimes it is our doubt and disbelief that puts limits on the things God wants to do for us.

Dear Lord, help us come to You with faith in Your power.  Strengthen our belief in You to act in our lives and in our world. In Jesus' name.  Amen.
