Scripture Reading of the day From the Living Bible Online.
Psalms 4
O God, You have declared me perfect in your eyes; you have always cared for me in my distress; now hear me as I call again. Have mercy on me. Here my prayer.
The Lord God asks, “Sons of men, will you forever turn my glory into shame by worshiping these silly idols, when every claim that’s made for them is false?”
Mark this well: The Lord has set apart the redeemed for himself. Therefore he will listen to me and answer when I call to him. Stand before the Lord in awe, and do not sin against him. Lie quietly upon your bed in silent meditation. put your trust in the Lord, and offer him pleasing sacrifices.
Many say that God will never help us. Prove them wrong. O Lord, by letting the light of your face shine down upon us. Yes, the gladness you have given me is far greater than their joys at harvest time as they gaze at their bountiful crops. I will lie down in peace and sleep, for though I am alone, O Lord, you will keep me safe.

If we “ONLY BELIEVE”
In Matthew 8:8 We ready of a man who “ONLY BELIEVED” ….
This is what we are called to…to have faith.
In Mathew 8:8 Then the officer said, “Sir, I am not worthy to have you in my home. [and it isn't necessary for you to come]. If you will only stand here and say, ‘be headed,’ my servant will get well! I know, because I am under the authority of my superior officers and I have authority over my soldiers, and I say to one, ‘Go’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my slave boy, ‘Do this or that,’ and he does it. And I know you have authority to tell his sickness to go—and it will go!”
Jesus stood there amazed!
_________
The cool thing about this was this officer was a Roman officer. The Romans had pledged to take out Jesus and here is a man of true faith and he knows Jesus could do it.
I love the line that says Jesus stood there amazed. I imagine it was not easy to amaze Jesus, The son of God, but at this moment he as blown away at this man’s faith.
In doing our part, we need to ask God, he is willing to answer if we ask with a heart that says “ONLY BELIEVE” and it will be done.
Faith in your life shows its true colors when faced with difficult circumstances.
There will be difficulties in your life, but where do you turn to?
Do you believe?
Do you have the Faith it takes to Stand against what is happening and to TRUST GOD that the outcome is in his hands?
Are you willing to accept the Outcome based on your Trust in GOD?
