Sometimes waiting by faith requires us to go ahead and step out in faith. The key is in the promises. If we know what God’s promises are, then we can trust Him to lead us as we move forward, even if we don’t know exactly where we’re going. We can be confident that God’s going to provide for us, care for us, and guide us according to His promises.

Noah worked on the ark for over a hundred years before God actually made it rain. Yet Noah’s faith endured that long delay and he continued to prepare for the coming flood that God had warned him about. Noah had the kind of faith that trusted God implicitly. Do you have that same kind of faith?

Worship must be intricately tied to worth. When we worship God, we make an attempt to express to Him the value that we see He has.  But we can’t give God anything equivalent to all that He’s worth, so we give Him all we’re worth. That’s one way we can honor God and worship Him with our money.

Looking at the example of Enoch from Genesis 5, we’ll learn today that if we want to walk with God, we have to be on the same page with Him. But we need to realize that a walk with Him also means being on His page and not on our page. It means doing it His way and not our way.

As we study further about how faith worships, Pastor Ford will teach us today that righteousness is accredited to our account. Holiness is the result of righteousness. So righteousness is positional, and gained by what Christ did for us on the cross. But holiness is something we practice in life as we seek to honor Him.

As we look at how faith worships, we learn about the difference between the offerings that Cain and Abel brought to the Lord in Genesis.  We’ll see how Cain brought what he thought was his best.  But it did not meet God’s standard.  This study will show us that our access to God is not through our best, but through His son’s blood.

Often we spend more money than we should tyring to keep up appearances.  But today, Pastor Ford will remind us that we all are worth more than we think we are, because we are made in God’s image. So, we shouldn’t judge ourselves by where we live, what we drive and what we wear.

We can’t speak things into being. No matter how much faith we have that the words of our mouths will bring things to pass, we don’t have that kind of power. The only One who can create anything by the word of His mouth is God. Anything we get is based on what He has already called into being.

Pastor Ford explains that we typically want what the people in Hebrews 11 had, but we don’t necessarily want to do what they did.  And if you want what they had, then you have to do what they did.  And so what did they do?  They believed God fully by faith in His Word.

God’s provision sometimes requires us to move out, without knowing what’s ahead. But if we trust God fully, we know His provision will come to fruition even if we can’t see right now what it is or how it will happen. According to Pastor Ford, faith is God giving us insight into foresight like it’s hindsight. Find out more on today’s Treasured...
