Glorious Living Devotional : Jan 26

Topic: Power of Faith
Text: James 1:5-8
Key text:  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering… (James 1:6 KJV)

Discussion

Our text today shows us God’s provision for us and his will to give out these things he has prepared, to as many as will ask, the verse says “if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him”, this is revealing to Us God’s plan for our life, He knows that wisdom is all we need in all we do, just as the Psalmist said, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom…” whatever we want, once we get the wisdom of God, we can have them. However, the passage of today makes us to see one of the secrets of answered prayer which is Faith. Having the understanding that, that which we are asking of God, he has, and also wills to give it to us, then it will be limiting, or underrating God’s ability, when we ask and we fail to have the faith to claim the promise. Jesus said, if a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone… (Luke 11:11 Kjv) God is more than a father, he loves us, and even it is in his love, that he sent Jesus to the world, if we believed that, and we are saved, then, what stops us from believing that he can do all things.
Are you still a sinner? I want to tell you that the promise is to the Children: and the food of the Children cannot be given to the Dogs, it would be wise, if you will turn out of your sin and accept Jesus as your Lord and savior. This way you will become a son and have right to ask anything from God and He will do it for you. 

Challenge: Have faith in God
Prayer: help me to grow in faith and remain unwavering.
