TO THE BIBLE: Romans 10:6-7 GNB
‘But what the scripture says about being put right with God through faith is this: “You are not to ask yourself, Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down). “Nor are you to ask, Who will go down into the world below?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from death).’
LET’S TALK
When you need God’s assistance in matters that concern you, don’t ask Him how the miracle you’re expecting will happen. Don’t get frantic when it seems like there’s no answer from heaven yet. Don’t try to figure out how your faith will work and produce what you need. Don’t ask God how you will pass that exam! Don’t ask Him how the healing you want will take place.
All you need do is keep walking by God’s Word, and do whatever He tells you. How He chooses to help you is up to Him. The challenge you’re facing might be tough, but be assured that God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all you can ever ask, think or imagine. So, don’t worry about how the miracle you desire will happen. Relax and let Him do His thing!
Jesus told Jairus in Luke 8:50, “Do not be afraid; only believe….” That’s all it takes! Just believe anything He tells you. When God told Abraham to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice, he promptly obeyed. He didn’t ask, “Oh God, how am I going to become the father of many nations if I offer my only son as a sacrifice?” He left that to God! That’s faith! It accepts, believes, and acts on God’s Word as the truth, the only truth to live by.

Speak
The Word of God is in my heart and in my mouth; that’s the Word of faith by which I live. It’s the Word by which I reign and rule in the realms of life. I do not stagger at God’s Word. Rather, I’m strong in faith and give God praise and glory.
Act
Quit asking the Lord questions spurred by disbelief. His Word; believe and confess the Word only.
