----FAITH CHALLENGE ~~

~~~"The righteous man shall live by faith."
---(Romans 1:17)--

---IT IS a certainty in the Christian life = you will be challenged to rely on God more with every aspect of your being. This is the purpose of the sacrifices you will be called on to offer, the seasons of waiting, and the leaps of faith you'll be pressed to make. You will be placed in situations where you must make a choice = "Do you trust the Lord's wisdom or you own?"

Hopefully you'll acknowledge: "He is God!" But it does come at a price. It will mean trusting Him when life hurts, nothing makes sense, you cannot see the path ahead, and the burdens appear more difficult than you can bear. But in every instance He is saying, "Trust Me, and experience the powerful and eternal things I've planned to accomplish through you."

This is the process by which your faith grows. You obey Him above your own wisdom, fears, insecurities, and natural senses, and He readies you for a more profound relationship with Himself and a more meaningful and abundant life. So listen to God and say 'yes' to Him no matter what. Don't spend the rest of your life constrained by your own limitations. Trust and obey Him. ~~

--"Lord Jesus, You are God. I step out in faith knowing You always lead me in the best way possible. Thank You, Lord, for leading me in Your everlasting way. ~ amen.~"

--MY HOPE IS IN JESUS BECAUSE HIS WISDOM SURPASSES MY OWN AND HE CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING I FACE. ~~
