Dennis Fisher shares with us, "William Carey was an
ordinary man with an extraordinary faith.
Born into a working-class family in the 18th century, Carey
made his living as a shoemaker.
While crafting shoes, Carey read theology and journals of
explorers.
God used His Word and the stories of the discovery of new
people groups to burden him for global evangelism.
He went to India as a missionary, and not only did he do the
work of an evangelist but he learned Indian dialects into which he translated
the Word of God.
Carey's passion for missions is expressed by his words:
'Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.'
Carey lived out this maxim, and thousands have been inspired
to do missionary service by his example.
The Bible tells of many whose faith in God produced amazing
results.
Hebrews tells of those
- who through faith subdued kingdoms,
- worked righteousness,
- obtained promises,
- stopped the mouths of lions,
- quenched the violence of fire,
- escaped the edge of the sword,
- out of weakness were made strong' Heb.11:33-44
The list of heroes of the faith has grown through the ages,
and we can be a part of that list.
Because of God's power and faithfulness, we can attempt
great things for God and expect great things from God."
"If God can hang the stars on high,
Can paint the clouds that drift on by,
Can send the sun across the sky,
What can His power do through you? -Jones

Prayer: Father, I can
see how it is important to You that I understand Your desire to use me today. I
ask for insight for each opportunity to do the things You direct. May I not be
overcome with helpless thoughts, except in my own ability, to do what you
direct. Keep me focused on Your ability to make me able to succeed! In Jesus'
name, Amen
Our Scripture for today:
2 Chron. 14:11 "..LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou at our God; let not man prevail against thee."
2 Chron. 14:11 "..LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou at our God; let not man prevail against thee."
Today’s quote:
Max Lucado – “The same one who saved your soul longs to remake your heart. His plan is nothing short of a total transformation. Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus. Perhaps in seeing Him, we will see what we can become!”
Our thought for today:
Is your daily self-talk filled with hopeless thoughts? Let God in on your conversations to yourself to give you hope and direction.
