“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
– Hebrews 11:1
 When we become people of faith, we become people of vision. And that’s because faith says God can do anything, and that gives us what I like to call a what if heart. A what if heart means what if we don’t look at our age, we don’t look at our sickness, we don’t look at our poverty, and we don’t look at our lack of education or any of the other things that we think set us back? Instead, we just start asking ourselves, “What if?” What if God really did want to start a ministry through me? What if God really did want to start a business with me? What if I could be married again? What if God could use me to bring my family back together? Faith gives us this inner joy of dreaming again. It’s the thing we had when we were kids when we were able to ask, “What if we did this? And what if we did that?” Do you remember how fun that is? I certainly do. |
Prayer
God, help me say “what if” in my life. I want to do big things for you.
Reflection
How can you say “what if?”

thank you, for the words of What if, we all must keep pressing on even if our present situations seem without direction or hope. Father God will give us the vision of What if ‘we could do this’.. & with him we CAN
I’m so glad Bobby is back on the air and in my emails with his inspirational messages just like his Dad and his Granddad. Keep the messages of faith coming, Bobby, as they are so needed now in this divisive atmosphere.
What if I really believe what is written in God’s Word, the Bible? What if I really have complete faith in Jesus? What if I speak and act like I believe and don’t back down in my faith just because those around me don’t agree? This 2018 I will find out.
HAVING THE CHANCE TO PARTAKE OF YOUR “DAILY DEVOTIONS” HAS ADDED NEW SPIRITUAL QUALITY TO MY LIFE; I’ve BEEN ABLE TO FORGIVE OTHERS. PAST & PRESENT, MY FEARS TO GOD THE FATHER THRU JESUS THE SON & JUST HAVE A PEACEFULNESS ADDED TO MY LIFE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
