daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? Look at this;
Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith."
NAS

Wow. That is full of truth. There's a few things going on here. Our attitude should not be one of shame but of jubilence because God saves any and everyone who recognises and believes what has been said about Jesus the Messiah. Our faith in this truth is everlasting and is not wavering. Sure HOW things take place and for sure the timing baffles us sometimes but the faith that God has already handled and won whatever we face is where our faith should be. Living by faith is not always easy especially when it flies in the face of conventional wisdom but ponder this, God CREATED mankind and the world and since we can't even begin to fathom the complexities involved in that action, why would we doubt his Word that tells us to live by believing in his Word? Why would we doubt just because we don't understand all aspects of creation or because WE can't figure it out? How Jesus defeated death and rose from the dead for our sake doesn't make a lick of sense in the natural but it happened and he did it for you. God wants you to come to the truth of salvation because he loves you. Kinda makes you want to dive in his Word and learn some more about a love that big that will save people regardless of infractions committed doesn't it? Think about that...

remember Stephanie and Ken Pflug...remember Gardiner Yates and his crew...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for increasing our faith. Thank you for providing a way for all of us to see your throne. Lord we ask for direction and a peace about our paths and make it obvious where we are to go. Lord we lift up the lost to you. Help them see you and know your love is the only true love. Lead us to a faith that flat sustains us even in turmoil. We love and honor you Lord and in Jesus name we lift these things up to you. Amen
