1 Corinthians 16:13 “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.”
Drawn Beyond!
Redrawn to
unreachable levels
of faith so HE lifts us
again and again;
To measurements never
before were imagined,
proposed nor designed
or much less —
entertained.
Now brought to the
crossroads of trust by
GOD’s footprints, so
have we the choice to
believe…in HIS hands!
So choose you this day
with great faith — yea
expecting — to see HIM
WHO saves us from all
of our plans!
As HIServant first making a stand and then taking a leap of Faith beyond where I was Yesterday,

Devotional: Ephesians 4:11-13 “And HE gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherdscand teachers,
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of CHRIST,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of GOD, to be mature, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of CHRIST,
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves…
…and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.”
So! It’s a choice. Right?
It’s whether we believe and take GOD with HIS own WORD in hand…or we don’t.
To “grow up and go up” or…remain stagnant.
Spoken most of all to myself, “Strong Faith” is still believing that though HIS hand of healing isn’t yet seen, it WILL BE!
Romans 10:7 “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the WORD of CHRIST.”
Yes! The picture above shows a seemingly impossible climb.
But GOD! HE not only calls us higher but sometimes carries us to the ladder which looks so daunting, so impossible to climb.
But GOD! So our active Faith even grows beyond the levels of each day to prepare us for Tomorrow.
And! Not just for our sakes but for those whose faith is fractured, even broken!
For those who can’t see the ladder!
Be thus HIS faithful example by continuing to zealously lift up and pray for all in need.
Yes, LORD! Redraw us beyond all our doubts, fears, worries and concerns!
Seal YOUR strength within us to persevere!
Then all who watch YOU move through us will be drawn even higher as well!
Amen and amen!
