Proverbs 3:6 says, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
As Christians, we must evaluate everything in the light of God’s Word, for anything not rooted in faith is sin. This principle applies to what we hear, read, or believe in a world where distortions of truth abound. Today, many struggle to discern truth amidst appearances, especially when seeking spiritual leadership. Often, external qualities like eloquence or credentials overshadow the essence of faith and the heart aligned with God’s will. While humans can teach and preach, it is the Holy Spirit who works according to His divine purpose.
The Bible in Mark 6:2-3 warns us of the danger of judging based on externals, highlighting how people dismissed Jesus because of His family background instead of embracing His message. This teaches us the necessity of examining all things by God’s Word, as the outward profession of faith may not always reflect the inner transformation of the heart.
Faith, when truly lifted, ushers out doubt, fear, and worry, leaving everything to God’s sovereign hands. It is not merely about declaring belief but entrusting all burdens to Him. Faith frees us from the weight of pain and restores focus on our righteousness in Christ. This act of sincere faith brings peace, allowing miracles to take place—not through human effort but by the Holy Spirit’s will.
Obedience to the Holy Spirit remains vital, for He speaks and acts with purpose, offering solutions to every challenge. When faith is active, miracles are performed, not just witnessed. To declare that “my faith is lifted” signifies total reliance on God, removing anxiety and embracing trust.
Let us strive to heed the Spirit’s voice and act upon His Word, for it is the divine instrument of peace and truth. May God bless His Word, in Jesus’ name, Amen! Emmanuel!
