Where is Your Faith?

One thing is for certain in this fallen world, we need to have faith in God. Without faith in God, we are going to walk day to day in fear, uncertainty, discontent, despair, depression, and hopelessness. But with faith in God, we can be certain that our pain will turn to joy, our fears to great strength, and our ashes to beauty (Isaiah 61:3). Through our faith, we are certain that we are more than conquerors and we can claim Victory in every area of our lives.

So the question is, “Where is YOUR faith?” Have you seen it lately? Maybe you left it at your bedside last night, or left it at the door as you left your home for the day, maybe you left it in the valley of your last trial and tribulation you faced. Wherever you left your faith, it’s easy to find, when you look to God for help.

Faith is not being “optimistic” or just “hoping for the best.” Faith comes from hearing, knowing, and BELIEVING, the promises of God (Romans 10:17). If you don’t know the promises God has made to you, you’re bound to lose your faith within a matter of moments. This world will constantly threaten your faith. It is no mistake that the Bible refers to the “fight of faith.” It is truly a fight, and the most important aspect of this fight is to know what the Word of God says about your situation. The enemy is constantly shaking our faith, especially as we draw nearer to God, especially as we seek to do His will. Don’t be surprised by the attacks, be ready, be armed, with the Word of God. God has given us a promise of hope for EVERY situation we face. Don’t be deceived into thinking that God can’t help you in your particular circumstances.” The devil is a liar; the father of all lies.

Throughout your day, stop to ask yourself, as Jesus asked the Disciples in their storm on the Sea of Galilee, (Luke 8:25) “Where is your faith?” Is your faith remaining in God, or has it drifted off to something, in and of, this world. And once you find your faith, ask yourself, will your faith take you into the next few minutes, the next hour, or will it even carry you into the next day? When you truly have faith in God, you not only have faith for the moment, but for whatever life may bring. And not only will God’s promises give you hope for today, but for all of eternity. The choice is yours, and God urges you to choose Victory, by trusting confidently in Him! Whatever it is you’re facing in life, make the choice today, to put your trust in God alone. Choose to just “believe God,” regardless of how things might seem on the surface. Choose to have faith in God, in the midst of all the uncertainty. Trust in God’s ways, God’s timing, and God’s love for you, and you’ll never be disappointed!
