101 Faith Notes (3 page)

~*~*~

90. The Bible is full of ordinary people who went to impossible places and did wondrous things simply because they decided to obey God, even when others said "You can't do that."

~*~*~

91. The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” (Matthew 20:31)

~*~*~

92. The doors God sets before us are much like grocery store entrances - the doors seem closed, but the minute you step up to them, they open. 

~*~*~

93. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you. (2 Chronicles 20:17)

~*~*~

94. God opens the door the minute we step up in faith.  But if we never take the step of faith, the doors will always be closed.

~*~*~

95. Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.” (Exodus 14:13-15)

~*~*~

96. “A loser is a person who quits. Because if you believe in yourself, and keep trying, even if you fail over and over again, eventually you’ll win – you’re not a loser until you give up.”

~*~*~

97. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)

~*~*~

98. The temporary pain and misery of this time will be worth the results, worth the splendor, the dignity, and the beauty. We must not give up. We have to remember that God has promised this threshing will not go on forever.

~*~*~

99. Does one crush bread grain? No, he does not thresh it continuously, but when he has driven his cartwheel and his horses over it, he scatters it [tossing it up to the wind] without having crushed it. (Isaiah 28:28 AMP)

~*~*~

100. The beauty of what is inside us will be revealed without being bruised, crushed, or destroyed.

~*~*~

101. A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In
faith
fulness He will bring forth justice (Isaiah 42:3)
