Genesis 15:6 NIV
There is much to be said for believing. There is much more to be said for taking action based on what we believe. It's easy to say we believe something. The real proof is how we respond when it comes to what we claim to believe.
In Mark 9:23-24, Jesus says to the child's father, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
Let me throw this question out there. If we say we believe God's Word, why don't we act upon it? Are we afraid? Do we fear what people will think, see or say?
Revelation 21, John tells us, And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

Do we believe we are made new? Do we live like it?
Prayer:
Father,
In response to Your declaration that all things are possible to him who believes, we cry out as the father of the child did, “Lord, we believe; help our unbelief!” We want to be living proof of You, O God! We know Your perfect love casts out fear because Your Word tells us it is so. And we believe Your Word. Help us to live like it. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
