THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO DARE COME AGAINST US

FAITH is all around us. People have faith in so many different things: faith that a FRIEND will be true, faith that your JOB is taking you on a certain career path, faith that the CHAIR you are sitting on is going to hold you UP! Faith is simply BELIEVING in something. But there are different kinds, or LEVELS, of faith. I’ve discovered TWO kinds of faith—a DELIVERING faith and a SUSTAINING faith. Delivering faith is when God INSTANTLY turns your situation around. When that happens, it’s GREAT. But I believe it takes a GREATER faith and a deeper walk with God to have sustaining faith. Sustaining faith is when God takes you THROUGH the difficulty. You are filled with doubt, anxiety, fear, and bitterness. But when you know that GOD is in control, and even if you go THROUGH the difficulty, you know He will take care of you. You can say, “God, I don’t CARE what comes against me, I don’t care how LONG it takes, this thing is NOT going to defeat me. I know that You loved me and GAVE Yourself for me. As long as You are FOR me, that’s all that matters.”

Today’s Scripture:

“And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Galatians 2:20, ESV
