Audacious Faith

~Believing without fear and hesitation~

[thewordfortheday]

Most of us are deeply concerned with living meaningful, purposeful lives and want to know what God wants for our lives.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6

Psalm 25:14 says, "The LORD confides in those who fear Him." Surrender your life to Jesus, give Him the first place in your life, have a close walk with Him, read His word. He will guide you to where you need to be, often through pain and trials, but His comfort and presence will be there all the way.

“Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.”

‭‭— Isaiah‬ ‭50:7‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong."

— 1 Corinthians 16:13 (ESV)

Your difficulties do not exceed those of others (I Cor 10:13). They may be different in kind, but God tries all men with equivalent adversity. There should be great comfort just in realizing this important fact. Others are also being tested and tried. It is said, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” That is the lesson of this proverb. You do this spiritually by trusting God and taking courage against difficulties or enemies (I Sam 30:6). You must reject the temptation to be discouraged or to quit, and instead you stand up and conduct yourself like a man (I Cor 16:13).

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Hebrews 11:1

Faith is "an unquestioning belief that does not require proof or evidence." Our very salvation is by faith. It is by faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved; we are justified; we are cleansed. It is by faith we look forward to the return of Jesus.

Do you face the future with your heart filled with fear, or do you face the future with your heart filled with faith in the goodness of God?

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” someone famously said.

Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Our refusal to trust God is a denial of God’s ability or willingness to do that which He has promised to do.

This is an insult to God’s integrity. It's like saying I don't trust God enough to see me through this crisis.

Faith is not believing that God can; it is knowing that He will. Faith allows God to do for us that which we could never do by ourselves. Know that He not only can but will.

Give it all to God, even your doubts and unbelief.

Your will be done. Matthew 6:10

When we pray, “Your will be done,” we are asking for God’s will to prevail over our will.

We are often tempted to believe “God gives us the opposite of what we ask for.” We are often scared to pray this prayer because we think that God will somehow mess up what we place in His hands. Your will be done means giving total control of your life to God.

That’s the kind of prayer God answers because it’s based on the truth that God is God and He has the absolute right to do whatever He wants. Many of us have never surrendered our lives, our plans or our agenda to His control. Often we forget that God has the best plan for our life.

What are you holding on to so tightly? What is it that you are afraid to give to God? Whatever it is, you’ll be a lot happier when you finally say, “Your will be done”

Prayer: Dear Lord, may Your will be done in my life, my family, my marriage, my career, my children and my future. In Jesus’ Name Amen

“No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater…The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”
