TAKEAWAY HIGHLIGHT

“First of all, we must believe that God exists. Most of us, I suppose, in our

hearts, really are aware of that. But beyond that, we have to believe that

God rewards those who earnestly seek Him. You see, faith is, ultimately,

faith in the goodness of God – in His reliability, in His dependability – and

without that faith in God’s goodness we cannot please Him. It begins with

believing in God and in His goodness. That is the root and the source of

all true success and the life that pleases God.” Derek Prince

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Think about challenging situations in your past where God came

through for you. Although it might not have been when you wanted,

it ended up being right on time. Remembering God’s faithfulness, help

and provision in the past increases our faith for the present. What is an

area of your life for which you are currently trusting God? Be patient.

Believe. Wait on God.
