Be a Friend with Faith

APR 16, 2023

Today’s Scripture

Psalm 96:2–3, NLT 

Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. 

Today’s Word

It’s great to have faith for yourself and speak victory over your life. But God didn’t give you faith just for you. There will be people you encounter who feel overwhelmed by a sickness, a loss, a difficulty in a relationship. Maybe at one time they believed, but now they’re so discouraged that they don’t have the strength to get back up. The way they’re going to see a breakthrough is not through their faith, but through the faith of a friend. You can be the one who steps up and believes for them. You can encourage them, pray for them, speak healing, favor, and victory over their life. 

Be a friend with faith who lifts the friend who’s fallen. Encourage the loved one who’s down, speak hope into their spirit. Step in and believe for the coworker who can’t believe for themself. Remind them that God is still on the throne, that what He started He’s going to finish. Your faith will cause the Creator of the universe to shine down favor, healing, and victory. 

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for the people You have placed in my life and the special role You have given me in their lives. Thank You that You can take my words of encouragement and bring healing and renewed strength. Help me to see who I can bless and lift up today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
