Help Me in Mine Unbelief

Galatians 5:4-5 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Think not that this passage is only for the Jews. Any of us, at any time, are guilty of living unto the law, and not unto Christ as LORD. Handle a matter on your own, without consulting the LORD for HIS direction, and notice it is then that you live unto the law, looking for no grace.

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. We wait for the hope of righteousness. We do not try to achieve it along the way, by making self righteous decisions on every account. One can only include himself in this "we", while communing with the Spirit, and believing that only where there is God's will, there is a way. It was counted as righteousness when Abraham simply had faith. It is no different now.

Galatians 5:7-9 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. The worldly rudiments hinder us. The world's treasures Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Why would it have been necessary to state that there is no law against these things? Could it be because there is a time when some say that good comes from the opposition of these things? How often have you been told that meekness is a weakness that will get you nowhere? And is it true that getting angry is a right that you should uphold in order to soothe yourself upon being wronged by someone. Would it be an injustice to never allow yourself to become volatile with anger? Should you overindulge now and then, so you can feel that you have truly lived life? And should you ever meet with inconvenience without trying to change your circumstances? After all, one may be accused of slothfulness were he to live in the confines of contentment and peace. Were he to leave his fate in the hands of another, he would suffer the ridicule of those who actually seek their fortune. Action is the word and work of the day. Never be seen at rest. But, could it be that one cannot truly find faith when not at rest? Psalms 37:7-9 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

Colossians 3:23-24 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Lord, in Your name, help me in mine unbelief.

Matthew 13:57-58 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Mark 9:23-24 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Hebrews 3:18-19 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Hebrews 4:14-16 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 an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Here am I, Lord. Help me in mine unbelief.
