“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12
A woman walks into a restaurant and purchases food for her friends and family. Two friends stand nearby as one whispers to the other, “I’m so jealous of her. She bought all of that food for her friends and family.” The friend responds, “Why are you jealous? Look in your hands. You have money. Go in there and purchase some food too!”
Some of us are like this woman. We stand nearby, thinking to ourselves, “Why can’t I have what she has?”
JESUS hears the conversation going on within our hearts and then His Holy Spirit whispers to us the same thing as that friend did. “Look in your hands. You have faith. Go and receive.”
Faith is the currency of the kingdom of God. It’s what we use to purchase and receive all that God has promised us in His WORD. My sister, you never have to be jealous of what another sister used her faith to get from God.
The LORD says He has given to each of us a measure of faith. However, faith alone won’t do it. Just like faith alone won’t take you from a size 25 to a size 10. You’re going to have to do something. Faith is not merely wanting, it is action, but it’s a God-directed action.
It’s time to ask, “LORD what’s your desire for me? What do you want me to have?” And when He reveals it to you, it’s important that you turn your eyes away from what other people have and set your faith on receiving what God has promised you. If you do what He tells you, you will receive His promises in His perfect timing and in His perfect way!
Prayer: Thank you LORD for speaking directly to me. Forgive me for being jealous of others. Forgive me for doubting you. You love me and you want to bless me. Help me LORD to believe. Help me learn how to use my faith and receive from you all that you’ve promised in your perfect timing and in your perfect way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Romans 12:3; Hebrews 11:6)
Glory to God thank you for the encouragement word because with my little bit in my faith I know who my supplier is and I don’t understand how some people can be so selfish because I know with my God and my faith he has supplied my needs with my little bit I can be a helping hand to someone else open up your heart this is confirmation and what I have been talking about to other people and family members because they have no reason to really be jealous because God will supplied their needs and his timing I can truly say I praise God for what I do have and to allow me to do and continue to walk by faith again I say thank you sister Keisha for delivery this devotion for God’s promise and his timing and Jesus name Amen β€β€β€
Well spoken RJ
My family and I have been talking about what a blessing it is to be able to share Godβs provision.
Everything belongs to God and we as His children need to remember that and remind others as we each do what He asks us to do.

Very true, we has to believe that God is the owner of all things blessings comes from him, if we just ask in faith he will give us what we ask of him. But! We should not envy those that have because maybe they have because they are walking in faith and obedience to God and in there giving and God blesses them for that. Obedience to God is also very important to recieve what we ask . Amen thank DOTK for this word God bless you.β€
