Day 3
A Point Beyond Wavering
Read Mark 16:16
|
There is a point beyond wavering, and it is that moment when you know that God cannot be unfaithful. It is only for you to know that you comply with the condition upon which He promises this blessing of salvation from all sin to know that He, at that moment, fulfills the promise to you. So long as you are empowered by the Holy Spirit to offer yourself a living sacrifice to God through Christ, so long you may know that the offering is holy and acceptable. God has said so, and to doubt it is a sin. It is doubting God, and "He that believeth not maketh God a liar." (See 1 John 5:10.) Awful alternative!
Are you now beyond the point of wavering?
--Phoebe Palmer

Lord, help me to reach that point beyond wavering--when I know deep within that You cannot be unfaithful. Teach me to walk by faith . . . and not by my emotions! Amen.
