MONDAY

Sir 1:1-10
Ps 93:1-2, 5
Mk 9:14-29

FAITH WORKS!
“Immediately the father of the child cried out, “I believe; help my unbelief!” -Mark 9:24

There I was, on my knees, begging God for His wisdom and providence. I had been assigned to handle, for the first time, a renewal seminar in our community, and it seemed there was not enough to feed over a hundred people. Everyone in our team prayed hard.

But I have learned to handle these times by hanging on to the Lord’s Word in John 8:32 which states that “truth will make you free.”
