How do we maintain or sustain our faith in life? Life continually hits up against and tries to beat our
faith. Oftentimes, faith seems like a boat
in the middle of a storm tossed to and fro, unanchored, directionless. and hopeless.
Trials, drama and unfairness seem to beat at our door continuously. Choosing how to respond versus reacting in
the moment is the mark of a life anchored by Jesus. The constant pull of life circumstances can
be draining and exhausting. Peace can seem like a distant object in the horizon,
but it’s closer and more attainable than we realize. God’s Word is our avenue
to hope. It’s in His Word where we find
strength. It’s through His Word that He
gives us power and it’s in speaking His Word that our strength is renewed.
Being successful in this life depends on our ability to
invite God in to overtake our reactions, our feelings and our heart. How does
He want me to feel? How does He want me to respond? He is inviting us to take
those moments that seem challenging and using them as an opportunity to release
our natural reactions and replace them with wisdom, discernment, direction,
hope and peace so that He can renew our strength and give us power to fight
another day.
