How You Live
Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me. (Psalm 119:175)
Just Because
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. (Psalm 63:3)
Because. How many times did you hear this as a kid? I know I heard it a few times. There are those times when you have questions that no one can seem to answer and you hear the simple reply “Because”. Well, that’s how this verse starts out. I love it! We tend to ask a lot of questions in life that really don’t have answers. We want to know why someone is sick, why someone lost their job, why something bad happened, and many times the questions have no answers. This verse supplies an answer that is more than good enough for me for any question I may have in life.
Everything I Need
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)
Do Not Worry
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food,
and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Steps of Faith
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)
FAITH! A word we so often come in contact with as Christians, but seldom do we actually put it into practice. Faith is a confident belief in the truth, value, and trustworthiness of God! We know that God will come through, not because the circumstances around us say so, but because God has been and always will be faithful. He assures us of that time and time again in His Word.
Even when we can’t see around the corner of a mountain when we’re driving, we still take the corner. Even though we don’t know who builds the bridges we cross, we still cross them. There are many situations where we have to use faith to move forward. Will we apply that faith to our walk in Christ? Will we take the next step in faith knowing that He ultimately knows the way?
Do you have enough faith to take the next corner with God? Trust that HE has wonderful things in store for you! He won’t let you down!
Lord, I pray that you will increase my faith, so I may see things through Your eyes. My hope is in You, all that I have and all that am is in YOU! May I take the next corner in faith, trusting that You know what’s next!
Looking forward to what’s around the corner,
