SCRIPTURE:
…God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; (Romans 4:17)
DEVOTIONAL:
When our church moved from Lake and Pulaski on the West Side of Chicago to Forest Park, Illinois, some of the members did not want to go, as they felt called to stay. So we came with about 15 members. After the move, I began looking at the members and looking at the rent that was due on the first of the month. I began to wonder how we were going to meet the church expenses. Then God told me a couple of things: 1) People are not my source, and 2) He could meet my needs by many or by few (see 1 Samuel 14:6). At this point, I had two choices—believe God or believe what I saw in the natural realm.
