” UNLESS YOUR FAITH IS FIRM, I CANNOT MAKE YOU STAND FIRM. ” ISAIAH 7:9
Our Lord God in heaven makes it pretty clear that without our total faith in him he cannot work adequately in our lives. He has given us a free will to live our lives how we choose. He made it clear from the beginning that he is not a forceful God but a loving God. He wants us to be his child because we choose to be. To choose him we must believe in Him. To believe in Him we must trust him. To trust in Him we must have a faith that is so strong that it allows us to trust in the unseen. Our faith must be so strong that it allows us to overcome our human nature and believe in things of the spiritual world. We must retrain ourselves in the way we act and speak. We must train ourselves up in the Holy Spirit. We must surround ourselves with the things of God, his word and his mighty presence through the Holy Spirit. We must stay in his word every day. We must pray in the Spirit every day. We must give him the praise he so richly deserves every day. We must stay in tune with the Holy Spirit every day. If we do, our Lord will set us high above all of our troubles and concerns. He will give us the wisdom to live our lives in joy and peace. He will comfort us in times of need, and he will carry us through deep waters and over the highest of mountains when we are tired. He is our loving God, and he wants to help us live our lives without fear, doubt and worry. With his help we can live through the most troubling of times and come through knowing, that in the end, our Lord has made us victorious!
PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
