Daily Bread - September 15, 2026 (The Third Day - Genesis 1:9-13)
Hebrews 4:2 - For truly we have had the Gospel preached to us even as they also did. But the report of the Word did not profit them because it was not mixed with faith in those who heard it.
Agreeing With God’s Word
God had promised the Israelites an unimaginable inheritance: the great abundance of the land He had sworn to Abraham. However, they did not believe it was already theirs. They saw it as a place they would have to possess through their own deeds, and based on the measure of their ability, it was impossible! We must not respond to the inheritance that has been given to us in the same way or we will end up with the same results (Hebrews 4:11). We will never walk in the authority of sonship that has been given to us until we accept it as ours and say, “It’s mine!”
All we must do is conform to His image and accept this oneness by agreeing with God’s Word. See Jesus not only at the right hand of the Father – but also in your inner man. See Jesus in the life you now live. Confess that what He has spoken is true of you today, and hold fast to that confession without wavering! (John 1:12, 15:1-5, 17:21-23; Romans 8:29, 4:17; Hebrews 10:23; Mark 11:22-24). Recognize how what God will give you and do through you is not based on any works of righteousness which you have done, but because of His great love with which He has loved you (Ephesians 2:4-6; Galatians 3:2-5). The Holy Spirit is leading us and calling us to believe the truth, and respond to the Word of God (John 16:13; Hebrews 4:12, 11:1-2). We must not harden our hearts because of trials and disappointments. We must not believe another gospel that would fit our circumstances. Instead, we need to let confidence in God cause us to mount up with wings like an eagle, and soar in the realms of faith! Let the weak say, “I am strong!” (Joel 3:10). Let everyone who has been born of God say, “I am one with Jesus, He is in me and I’m in Him.”
Blessings,
Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
