My faith looks up to thee [June 18,2022 ]
My faith looks up to thee [June 18,2022 ]
 My faith looks up to thee
Isaiah 4:2
In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
The verse above is part of a prophecy God gave the Prophet Isaiah for the Israelites. He was reassuring them of salvation or deliverance
What they had to do was to look up to Him in faith expecting the prophecy to be fulfilled.
There are several promises in the bible for the children of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20 says
For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen unto the glory of God by us.
Once we look up to God in faith expecting the promises to be fulfilled we will receive them
2 Corinthians 5:6-7
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: for we walk by faith and not by sight.
This passage is encouraging us to live by faith. Do not expect all things around you to be perfect before you believe you will receive what God promised.
Even when everything in the natural points to the fact that it is impossible, expect God to perform a miracle by faith.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Believe that God can do all things even what looks impossible by human standards
Prayer
Let this hymn be your prayer
My faith looks up to thee
Thou lamb of calvary
Saviour Divine
Now hear me while I pray
Take all my guilt away
Oh let me from this day
Be wholly thine
Amen
