Determined

I am determined to be faithful.

I am determined.

I am determined?

Yes. Yes indeed!

Why?

Because my Savior and LORD has determined it to be.

Shall man thwart the plan of God?

I don't think so!

It's not possible to change the mind of God.

Or is it?

Perhaps prayer changes His mind?

Does prayer change our will or His?

Does it readjust our mind or His?

What do you think?

God is.

He does not change.

However, Elijah prayed and shut the rain down for three and one half years.

Even then, Elijah pray according to God's will.

So what do you think?

Can a man or woman stay faithful to God?

Can we be faithful to our Lord?

Or, do we just develop faithfulness?

Is faithfulness simply a fruit of the Holy Spirit that comes to bear?

In due time, we'll grow if

The big if.

If we stay connected to the vine—Jesus—we will grow.

That's the determining factor: Jesus.
