I have the You Version Bible app on my phone. It is great to be able to carry so many different versions of the Bible with me at once. Better yet is the ability to read Bible plans. Some help you go through the whole Bible, while others help you read a book, and still others help you read on a topic. Well I started the one on Faith and I am just amazed by what I have read so far. 

We all know the stories. Abraham left his home country to go after the promise of God. By Faith he had a son at an old age and was willing to give him up when asked to. The woman with a blood condition, it was by her Faith that by touching Jesus’ garment that she was healed. And let us not forget the roman centurion that asked Jesus to heal his servant from afar. There are so many more examples of people stepping out in Faith in the Bible. You see the high level of Faith that each of these men and women showed. Jesus said that with Faith the size of a mustard seed we can tell a mountain to move.

This has been very impactful on me. These last few weeks I have felt as if my Faith was weak. I have no idea why. However, reading these passages, and going through the Faith Bible study on my phone has stirred something inside. I see regular everyday people stepping out. People just like me. What is there to stop me from stepping out in increased Faith? Only myself. God is very Faithful and when His people step out in Faith He is there with them. 

A friend sent me a text this week, “your Faith should be stronger than most,” I need to walk in that Faith, the very Faith I had while I did the world race and saw what God could do. My God is with me wherever I go and will provide for my needs.

Happy 2013.

I am expecting and having faith for great things to happen this year. God has mighty plans for His kingdom.

It is a new year, time to start over again. We make our resolutions or set goals for ourselves. We see it as a time to be able to start a new self. Let us break this down. If things change in a New Year, why not apply that to a new season, a new month, a new week, or even a new day. Each day we get is a blessing. It means we have one more day to make an impact for the Kingdom of God, one more day to share the love of Jesus with others by our actions.

I don’t think God dwells much on what happened in the past. If I made a mistake yesterday, His forgiveness is already there, all I need to do is ask for it and accept it. I can choose each morning to get up and focus on what God wants me to do on the “NEW” day.

I want to challenge you to live each day to the fullest. If you fall down, get back up and keep moving forward, tomorrow you get another chance at a brand new day. You can not change the past, but you can change the future based on what you do today. Let us do what God is asking for us to do each and every day.
