[Wednesday's Devotional] - You have enough faith to move mountains

It's impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. Hebrews 11: 5 -6: [The Message]

I always like building people's faith in order that they may connect with God who is the Beginning and End of everything concerning life. Elsewhere in the Book of Isaiah, God has stated that He works in mysterious ways. I have been believing the Lord to move a particular mountain in my life for more than sixteen years, yet He calls me to encourage others as if I have already seen manifestation of my miracle.
In today's Scripture, we learn it is pointless approaching God without faith. Why? For me, it's because God is a Spirit and therefore unseen! So how can one relate to Someone who is unseen?
Over the years the above Scripture, has become one of my most favourite in the Bible. This is because it brings me closer to God's Presence, more than any other. The reason is so simple to be missed. It's when we pray. For, how can someone in their right mind talk with Someone Who does not exist? Here we go – each time we pray, know that we already please God who is already smiling because we at least have the mustard seed faith to approach Him!
Taking time to pray is a huge declaration in the unseen realm that we believe God exists. So when we pray let's leave the place of prayer knowing beyond any shadow of doubt that He has heard whatever we have asked of Him.
To help us understand this, let's look at this from another perspective. How do we know God has heard us? Why is it important for Him to do at least something when we pray? I believe that when we pray God is obliged to respond because He wants us to know that He exists and to build a relationship with us.
I shall not labour this point any further because every person that calls themselves Christian, knows God exists because everyone has at least a testimony from Him.
So as we seek Him for the next answer and testimony, let us remember, God has answered us before and He will answer us again:
In my distress I cried to the Lord, And He heard me. (Now in my opinion, David seems to be praying again)
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips And from a deceitful tongue.
Psalm 120 vs. 1 – 2: [NKJV]
