Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.~Hebrews11:1(NIV)
Today I was asked to choose a quote that speaks to me; something that is the driving for force behind what I do personally and professionally. The first thought that came to mind was “ to whom much is given much is expected” from Luke 12:48. I have been given talents and those talents are to be used to bless others and build up His Kingdom. However, in this season of my life, faith has been the cornerstone because I can do nothing without faith.
I have to have faith that I am raising my child in the admonition of the Lord; that I am steering him on the right path. I have to have faith that my children’s hearts and minds are being guarded in Christ Jesus. I have to have faith in the healing power of my Lord.
I also have to have faith that I am enough because God is more than enough. My job takes me having fairy n my abilities and trusting that God will give me wisdom to do it even when I do t see it. So when I doubt myself I go back to the Source of my strength and have faith.
Lord, thank You for being the author and the finisher(Perfector) of my faith( Hebrews 12:2). Thank You that your promises are yes and Amen( 2 Corinthians 1:20). Thank You for believing in me when I doubt myself and turning my face to One Who can do the impossible(Mathew 19:26). Thank You for loving me. (John 3:16).
Amen. It is through faith that God reassures me that all things are truly coming together for my good. Faith in God is my direction. When I choose not to listen, at times, it is honestly my faith in Him that reminds me that I have already been forgiven. Repent and redirect. Thank you for sharing the Word.
