\"1fd804f873e42ab4b8555eb944a7ff05\"<\/a> Gal. 5:7-8 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.<\/p>\n

In my devotional this morning it said Peter\u2019s eyesight was actually a hindrance to him when he needed to keep his eyes steady on Jesus and not how it was going to work as he walked on water. Where has doubt crept into your life and actions? Have you asked for signs and wonders and when they come still ask for more confirmation? Faith is conviction of things not seen and being certain of what you hope for. Are you certain of what you hope for?-Let that certainty occupy your thoughts-this is a new season-begin decreeing those things that are not as if they were! Remember that the persuasion of doubt does not come from the one who calls you. Continue running your race because we know our God will make a way through the sea-a path through the mighty waters. <\/p>\n
