Reap Faith's Outcome

February 26

We say we believe in God. We say we believe that Jesus never changes. We say we are confident that the works He performed two thousand years ago can and are still being performed today in response to prayers lifted in faith to His Throne of Mercy and Grace.



We hear about amazing miracles that are occurring in the Third World. We hear about people who walk for days to attend an evangelistic service where remarkable transformations of broken and sick bodies are happening in great numbers. We hear about people coming to faith in Christ, and we marvel.



We are like those who saw His glory in Mark 2:12 where we are told, “As a result, they were all astounded and gave glory to God saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this!’” Yet we wonder why we are not seeing these miracles in our churches. Our prayers bounce off the ceiling. We wonder…



…But what have we done to point our lives in the direction of Jesus, the Source of the miraculous? What have we done to invite Him into our situation? Were we to appropriate His Word in faith, to anticipate His transforming touch upon our circumstances, we would not stand amazed when His wonders were performed; we would reap faith’s outcome!
