The Living Word of God- Keeping Your Faith !

History MonthGeorge Washington Carver
African-American educator and agricultural researcher George Washington Carver (c. 1864-1943) grew up in Missouri with the white family that originally kept his mother as a slave. After earning his master’s degree in agriculture from Iowa State College in 1896, he headed the agricultural department at Booker T. Washington’s all-black Tuskegee Institute for nearly 20 years. Carver’s research and innovative educational programs were aimed at inducing farmers to replace expensive commodities, and he developed a variety of uses for crops such as cow peas, sweet potatoes and peanuts. Carver had abandoned both teaching and agricultural plot work by the late 1920s, though he continued to advise farmers and students.Carver was one of the best-known African-Americans of his era. Growing mainly from his research on peanuts, his rise to fame created myths and obscured much of the true nature of his work. His humble origins were part of his appeal to publicists who made him a national folk hero. He was born in the Missouri town of Diamond. His mother and older brother were the only slaves of Moses and Susan Carver, successful, small-scale farmers. His mother disappeared, presumed kidnapped by slave raiders, while George was an infant. He became both free and orphaned at about the same time. The childless Carvers raised him and his brother as their own children. Being a sickly child, George was not required to do hard labor but helped around the house. Very early his intellect and knowledge of nature awed those around him, but he was not allowed to attend the neighborhood school because of his color. Thus at a young age he began a series of moves through the Midwest, seeking more education. He supported himself cooking, doing laundry, and homesteading before finally enrolling at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, in 1890.

 Good afternoon Children of God
The Living Word of God- Keeping Your Faith !

The question for you and I today, where is your faith? Do you trust God's Word? God indicated to Sarah, who was long past the age of childbearing, that she would conceive a son. The Scripture states: “She considered Him faithful who had promised.” She took God at His word. Now understand, God is speaking, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”“The word of the Lord abides forever.”“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever". These verses is telling us that everything in life may change, but God’s Word remains constant. His truth never changes. Now Read James 1:6,But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Also read James 2:14,What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Without faith in Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we are are nothing. Faith in God, although it seems easy, will take a lifetime of effort to keep. It is the true Faith and what every believer should aspire to have. Don't let your Faith waver when things in life don't go as you planned. We should work hard every day to remember that Jesus Christ is our Savior and God is our Father. We should always have faith in Him not ourselves. For it is written in Matthew 21:21,Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.You and I can either grow accustomed to listening to our feelings, thoughts, and circumstances, letting them control us, or we can be in the habit of taking God at His word despite our feelings and life experiences. Believe that His Word (God) is truer than our feeling,God wants you and me to be faithful men and women, so that we can have good success in all that we do .As we are faithful to exercise our “measure of faith” that has been given to each of us, our faith will grow.Heavenly Father, we come before thy in faith trusting Your Word. I pray  to be filled with your spirit and light everyday. Help me Lord to live by faith and not by sight. Help me to live my life by faith in you Lord. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !
