F.A.I.T.H
It is amazing to watch God work. Lately he has been exposing certain parts of his caricature to me, and destroying my feeble human led “understanding” of God. We think it’s so hard to have faith, and it is if we are trying to peace it together in our own minds. We so often get away from scripture which is God, as we stray so dose our understanding and we revert slowly back into a human and worldly mindset. Like it or not, your reflection of faith is a reflection of your relationship with God. He gives us true understanding… 1 John 5:20. So without being close to Him it is impossible to receive his understanding. As I continued seeking the lord and asking him to open my mind and heart to his truths (1 john 5:14) (matt 7:7) (James 1:5) he did. Through that, my understanding grew in leaps and bounds and everything started changing. The biggest thing was my faith! My faith was being built in God’s promises, that he is the same yesterday today and forever (Heb. 13:8) and that he will never leave me or forsake me (Deut. 31:6). With that, I can stand firm in Him regardless of my current situation. Faith is a decision, not a reaction to how you feel or how you want to feel. Paul was content in whatever state he was in (Phil 4:11) because he had a heavenly understanding of this life that the lord gave him. When we have faith in the truths of God, we will begin to feel routed and solid in our faith. This is the faith we need to have on our world race, and also to understand that it is given. To receive it we must seek after it through our Lord God.
