Led by God or Living by Faith
Sharpening the axe... and being properly clothed are always a wise choice!
"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so you do also."(Colossians 3:12-13)
Join me as we glean the essence of biblical faith… a faith that requires we take personal ownership of in order to possess what is ours in the Lord. We can't rely on others faith, we must hear, know, believe and act on what we hear and see from God ourselves.
These insights from God's news can really set you apart, in Christ, for all that God has given you in the Lord.
Psalm 4 Such a timely word that moved David then and should influence us today. My simple take on the message and flow of the song: "Don't let someone else think and ponder for you, think of God in your heart and reflect on what His done and doing in you. (It's easy to borrow or lease what everyone else is saying about the Lord without ever taking ownership of it ourselves, therefore, it doesn't effect and impact our hearts.) And try not to focus who else needs this and let it distract you from allowing His greatness and glory and grace to transform you, while you rest both physically and spiritually before Him." (Psalm 4:4)
Faith possesses today... what our eyes will see tomorrow or what our feet will walk upon next week, even what our hands will handle a year from now. Faith sees, TODAY, what God sees... not everything that He sees, but enough of what He sees, to possess what He promises NOW.
Israel could walk in |
