"Just A Word"

"...but speak the word only..."  Matthew 8:8ff

What are you facing this morning?  Are you going through a trial, a tribulation, a situation?  What has the Lord said to you in it?  Has He given you a word?  Has He said that He would never leave you nor forsake you?  Has He said that He would supply all your need?  Has He said that He would fight your battle for you?  Has He said that no weapon formed against you would prosper?  If He has, then you have a promise.  A promise straight from God Himself.  And a promise from God is like money in the bank.  If it's a promise from God, then it's a "done deal"... so why are you worrying!  He is not a man that He should lie.  He watches over what He says and causes it to accomplish the purpose for which He sends it.  

You may not feel like things are going to work out, but you have a promise... and that's better than a feeling.  You may not have a sign, but you have a word.  And when you have a word- a word from God- that's all you need!  Did Noah have a sign or a word?  All Noah had was a warning (a word) from God- there was no rain, no clouds in the sky, no rainbow, just God's word.  God may not always give you a sign if He's given you a word because He wants you to learn to trust His word... in other words, believe what He says.    

Have a great day. When a word is all you have, a word is all you need.
