Daily Bread – September 12, 2024 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) Hebrews 10:23 – Let us hold fast the confession of our expectation without wavering, for He is faithful that promised. Holding Fast Our Confession Through Confidence There is a confession with every motion of faith. That confession is found in the things of which we are confident. Out of the inspiration of the Word of God, we are commissioned to subdue nations, and give witness to the Resurrection and all of the blessings and promises of God. Recently, I heard a successful business man who does not know Jesus, nor the faith He has given, say, “We have moved mountains.” Well, if those who do not know God can find confidence to move mountains, then we should be able to move whole continents. Men succeed because they have confidence in themselves, and their pride and ambition will not let them quit. But the people of God should have confidence in God and in His dedication to our success – and as a result, be unwilling to waver. If you turn back because your ministry or business is not achieving the success you thought it should, then you have left off trusting God! It is time to press in and take hold of the confession that the Word of God has filled your mouth with and begin to shout the shout. Shout, and the walls will come down! Shout, and the Lord will answer! Shout, so that all of your senses are filled with the testimony that you believe God! When all men thought for sure they would die because of the violence of the storm, when they had given up all hope that they should be saved, one man stood up and said, “I believe God!” (Acts 27:25, 13-44). Will you lay hold on the Word of God, and the unlimited promises of God that affect every dimension of your life, and say boldly today, “I believe God?” Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
