A Little More Faith

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;  they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23

God shows His faith in us every day.  How?  We have a new day!  The sun comes up, we awaken from our sleep, we breathe, walk, eat, talk.  All this is a gift from God every day.  Although we may not look at it that way every day, His faith in us is displayed each morning.  And so, if His faith in us is so great as to offer us this gift daily, can’t we in turn show a little faith in Him and be who He wants us to be?

We spend a lot of time studying the scripture here and that is an awesome thing.  But it is only one step towards living a true Christian life.  Yes, we must know what God desires and expects of us in this life but should not focus just on that knowledge.  We must do it is as well!  We must walk on in faith that God’s plan is more awesome than we could ever imagine and that following in Christ’s example will bring not only joy, peace, and happiness to our lives but to everyone we encounter as well.  We need to take what we learn here and let it inspire us to be more like Christ.  We must through faith believe that God is who He says He is and that He is faithful to deliver on all He has promised.  Here is what God says:

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6)

Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. (1 Peter 4:19).

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23)

It is God's plan for you to become holy and advance His kingdom in your own little ways with whatever talents He has blessed you with. And, He is faithful to bring this to pass. He is faithful to fulfill His promises. He is faithful to help you in your need. God is trustworthy and is ready and able to deliver all He has promised. Your loving God is faithful!  So dedicate yourself today to put your faith in Him and live your life as God wants you to.
