It’s important to constantly work at having the faith to be ourselves.
Confronting the moments when we think, act, respond, and make decisions as if God were not real and present in our lives.
The idea of control gives us the illusion that we can prevent, manage, and will our lives towards certain outcomes.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
When we live with a genuine faith in God, we are not afraid to dream, imagine, sacrifice, or take risks. Our confidence is in the God of Scripture, whose presence and power flow through those who have chosen to believe.
Faith makes the impossible possible. Our relationship with God should produce the kind of faith that moves mountains.
Abraham is a great example of someone who trusted and believed God was faithful to fulfill his promises even when things got difficult.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
Faith is not a destination. We don’t arrive. Faith is a journey, and if done correctly each day, the journey will be fascinating.
