“WHOSE REPORT?”

MeMaw Thoughts

Number 474

“Whose report will you believe? I will believe the report of the Lord!”

My thoughts this morning are on what we REALLY believe!  We can say we believe the word of God but continue to operate according to the things we can see, feel, or touch!

Isaiah 53:1 (KJV)
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

As some years of maturity come upon me, I can listen to my body tell me how I am feeling, or I can believe:

Psalm 103:5 (KJV)
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

“WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? I WILL BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD!”

We can major on the coronavirus statistics and predictions or we can believe:

Psalm 91:1-6 (KJV)
¹ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Highest shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
³ Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
⁴ He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
⁶ Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

“WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? I WILL BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD!”

We can worry and fret about the whether we will be able to pay our bills, or we can believe:

Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

“WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? I WILL BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD!”

The old saying, “Actions speak louder than words”, are never truer than in the life of the believer in the Lord Jesus!

Are we truly walking with the peace that passes understanding flooding our hearts, minds, and spirits, or are we walking by Faith in words only?

I understand that our words are powerful, and we must speak positive and faith filled words.  But along with that we must allow that Faith to invade our innermost being!

What do you really believe deep inside you?  Have you allowed the Holy Spirit to cultivate the soil of your spirit so that the seeds of the word find good ground and grow into a faith that says, through the Lord God Almighty we are well able!

“WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? I WILL BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD!”

We must not be like the children of Israel who allowed fear to keep them from entering the abundant land God had for them because they saw themselves as grasshoppers in comparison to the Giants!

We must get deep in our spirits that:

Isaiah 12:2 (KJV)
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

“WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? I WILL BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD!”

This day I challenge you to claim the verse below and mount up with wings, run, and walk, and draw on the strength of the one who made you!

Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

“WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? I WILL BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD!”

Father in Jesus name I come thanking you that you are greater than any other and your spirit dwells in me.  Thank you that you give each of us life and when we allow it you will give us life abundantly.  May each of our trust in you go deeper than our words and get roots deep in our spirits.  May we understand that nothing is impossible with you and you not only can do what we need you to but will do it as we truly allow your word be more real to us than all that is around us.  Thank you for your love and care and lead us in everything we do.  Amen

Believe the report of the Lords!  Love, MeMaw
