The Faith Factor 4

Devotional Reading: They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. Matthew 14:20 NLT

I’ll be honest, living according to God’s word rather than the world’s customs does not come naturally to me. God’s word has divine wisdom, power, truth, and holiness. It has divine attributes because it expresses God’s own character.

Faith is the opposite of logic. In all the Bible stories where there was great faith, logic was disproved. There is no room for logic where mountain-moving faith exists. Faith takes over where logic can no longer tread.

Logic could not cause a little boy’s lunch of five loaves of bread and two fish to feed thousands and thousands. It was faith that fed everyone until they were full and then collected 12 baskets of leftovers, a tangible visual of having more in the end than in the beginning.

Through our obedience and faith in what we cannot see, God will do so much more than just enough. He wants to do exceedingly, abundantly more. God will meet our needs and then give us leftovers, overflow, dry land in the middle of oceans, leveled mountains and demolished walls that once locked out our victories.

Act out of faith and be audacious for God. We have not because we ask not. Ask big and think huge. Do not put God in a box. Do not set limits on our omnipotent, omnipresent, supernatural God!

Prayer and Confession
I live by the word or God. I’m not moved by what I see but what God says. I live by faith, I live supernaturally. Amen!
