Get The Mix Right!
May 27, 2017
‘It was not mixed with faith.’ Hebrews 4:2 AMPC
In order for cement to become concrete, it must be mixed with sand and water. If you don’t get the mix right, the cement will never become concrete. And just as your body needs good nutrition each day, your soul needs to be fed on God’s Word. But you can’t stop there. You must act on what you hear and read. Faith is acting like God is telling the truth!
If you don’t act on God’s Word, it won’t do you any good. ‘The message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it.’
To get the results God’s Word promises, note what you must ‘mix’ in: ‘confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness.’ Why do you go to church and sit down in a pew? Because you are confident that the pew will hold you up. The reverse is also true. You may say you believe the pew can hold you up, but if you never sit down on it, you’re not exercising faith—because you’re not acting on what you say you believe. What does it mean to ‘act’ in faith?
(1) To agree with God’s Word and refuse to say anything that contradicts it.
(2) To wait patiently, allowing God to fulfil His Word in His own way and on His own schedule. ‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for.’ (Hebrews 11:1 KJV) Note the word ‘substance’. Your faith must be based on something substantial. And that ‘something’ is the tried, proven, unfailing truth of God’s Word.
