Fantastic Friday #1061 - Faith

Faith


6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8


Why is it so hard to live by faith? We have challenges in our life almost every single day, and sometimes there are multiple challenges that can make us anxious and worry. God wants us to work through these challenges with a faith in Him, and that He will provide the path to getting through these challenges, but we are sinful people and think that we need to do it all ourselves. I can't tell you how many times I have told myself, I can do this, I can make it through this, but it always ends in heartache and worry. If I would take that first step to rely on Jesus and faith in Him, the heartache and worry may still be there in some form, but I know that He is getting me through it. I know that when I rely on Him, there is a calmness that overtakes me and lifts me up in times of struggle. When the enemy wants me to take the path to my past, God is right there to remind me of who I am in Christ. We don't want to live a life that is absent from God and certainly don't want an eternity without God. So, whatever you are struggling with in your life, however big or small, lean in and rely on God and His righteousness, have Faith.


Have a great weekend.
