The Basis of Faith

Because God created everything there is nothing He can't do.  We put our trust in Him because He created it all, He owns it all and He is the sovereign, the king, the master.  There are many attributes of God but the basis for our faith is Creation.  If your God doesn't claim to create it all I would say that you really don't have a God.  Because nothing is impossible for God we can pray and believe that He can do anything that we pray for.  (The answer may be "no" but that is a topic for another day)

Genesis 1:1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 
Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Mark 9:23,24 " 'If you can?' " said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."  Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

PRAYER:  Dear God, I know that You created everything and that I owe my life to you.  I don't always understand the twists and turnings of my life but I believe in your love and faithfulness in those twists and turns.  Help me overcome my unbelief and replace the unbelief with faith in You and Your Word.  Speak to me from Your Word.  In Jesus name amen.
