Daily Bread - September 14, 2026 (The Second Day - Genesis 1:6-8)
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.
Being Fully Persuaded of the Promises of God
Until we believe the Word of God, we will not experience its results. So many are waiting to have what God has already given. Like Thomas, they must first see with their eyes and put their hands upon it before they will believe (John 20:25). Instead, when we hear the promises of God, we must respond by saying with certainty, “It is mine!” And though we have not seen it yet, rejoice with joy unspeakable that is full of glory! Through this response, the Word of God is activated, and goes to work in those who believe (1 Thessalonians 2:13).
Only by the Word of God and the Spirit of God are we empowered to know the will of God. When we hear the testimony of God and believe, then the Word of God is activated to produce the miracle. Do not doubt nor waver, for God cannot lie – all of His promises are “Yes and Amen.” Like Abraham, we must be willing to be fully persuaded of the promises of God, and not stagger through unbelief (Romans 4:20-21; Mark 11:22-24).
Blessings,
Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
