My thoughts this week have been on faith building scriptures.  We must always remember that the Word of God is the source of truth to all that will believe.  Its mystery is revealed to those who read it with a humble heart that is seeking for knowledge of man’s purpose and reason for living.  Within its books, chapters, and verses are an amazing source of strength, power, and encouragement.  It is the roadmap to heaven.  Through the years, the following verses from the Word of God have greatly helped to build my faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  I hope they will be a blessing and faith builder for you as well.

 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.  For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.  Lets us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.  (Hebrews 4:14, 15, 16)
 
 Jesus answered and said unto them.  Verily I said unto you, If you have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done.  And all things, whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.  (St. Matthew 21: 21, 22)

 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you.  (I Peter 5:6, 7)
 
 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things to present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 8:38, 39)
