Topic: Keep The Momentum of Faith

Text: "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him"
(Hebrews 10:38).

The reason many people never experience the
full blessing of the Lord is because they don’t
keep pressing into it in spite of resistance. This
world is all about resistance. You can’t come
into success without some hurdles. Thinking of
all the times I fly in an airplane, I always think of
the resistance it takes for the jet to get off the
ground. The level of thrust has to be stronger
than the power of gravity. The plane has to push
hard to get off the ground before it can ever
reach its cruising altitude. For many of us, that
push off the ground is the time when we want to
call it quits. It seems like the time to change
occupations, give up on school, move to a new
town, or quit tithing. It seems like the time to
quit standing in faith for our answer to prayer.
Perhaps we don’t need to change any of those
things, we just need to stay the course until the
momentum kicks in. God will add momentum to
our faith, but too many times we draw back
before that happens. It’s what happened to
Israel in the wilderness. They quit pressing into
the Promised Land when it looked like their basic
necessities were in jeopardy. Don’t draw back
today even though the resistance may be fierce.
God will help you obtain the promise today!

PRAYER
Lord, I make a sound decision to press in by faith.
I will not draw back away from the promises or
the things I know shall come to pass in this
season. Help me press in until I gain the spiritual
momentum You have for me. Amen.
