One Hand Washes The Other

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11:22-24 [KJV]

Have you ever tried to wash one hand while keeping the other one dry and out of the way? How successful were you? I know that in all the times that I have tried that, the hand never comes out as clean as I would like. The same is true with faith and no doubt. We have to have both when we go to God. Faith is believing God is who He says He is and no doubt is knowing that God will always keep His Word. I love the verse Numbers 23:19. To me, that speaks to the very essence of God and how He is completely different than man. God gives us access to His Power by asking us to "have faith and no doubt". Can we do that today and each day going forward?


God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19 [KJV]


Be Encouraged,


Martin
