"Keep The faith"

Keep The Faith.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.

You see faith is necessary for every believer because it’s only when you have faith that you can please God. So, let me ask you, do you really have faith, or do you rely on your own judgment and you’re reasoning or what your eyes can see? Are you living by faith?

When you think about some of the heroes of faith in the bible and all the trials they went through, you’ll see that they had some things in common; they kept believing in God, they had unwavering trust in the Lord, and they were strong in their faith.

It takes faith to follow Jesus Christ. It takes faith to continue pushing and standing for the gospel. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by faith Paul and Silas were beaten chained up and imprisoned. But they still praised God.

The three Hebrew boys refused to bow down to king Nebuchadnezzar all because they had such strong faith. These are all great examples of people who stood their ground and trusted in the Lord even when all the odds were against them, their faith was not shaken, their faith was not broken because they knew that the God whom they served is bigger greater and more powerful than anything or anyone who came up against them.

We can learn a lot from the believers in the bible and from how they dealt with adversity because even in this present day we often find ourselves in situations where our faith is put to the test, and we must decide how we will respond.

1 Peter 1:6-7 In all this you greatly rejoice though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of Trials these have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith of greater worth and gold which perishes even though refined by fire may result in praise glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

No matter what your hardship might be, be strong in faith don’t allow yourself to be moved because as soon as you let go of God’s promises you are bound to get swept up into the madness of this world. Jesus Christ is our only sure foundation; he is our anchor.

Circumstances change, people change, but the word of God remains true forever.

In the book of Matthew Jesus says heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away. That’s why we can trust him, that’s why we can cling to him and that’s why we must always/continue to pray and ask God to help us to have strong faith, to help us to have tenacious faith so that in the face of adversity we can be confident that He is with us.

Ask God to give us the kind of faith that doesn’t give up, the kind of faith that is patient enough to wait on Him.

Pray for faith that cannot be shaken by the winds of life, pray for the kind of faith that is not broken by the weight of disappointment.

Give us strong faith that isn’t intimidated by the giant before us, faith that isn’t frightened by the mountain before us. Pray that God would give us faith that trusts in Him completely because He is bigger, greater, and more powerful than anything that could come up against us.
