Keep The Faith

We know from scriptures that we will face challenges. It can be difficult to walk out our faith. But in these challenges we know that God is with us. This is why Paul encourages to work it out.

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

If we keep our eye on God and what He has in store, we can run our race.

1 Corinthians 9: 24Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Jesus said,

John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

If we keep the faith, we can have joy no matter what comes. God is with us, for us, and on our side.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as our King. Send us Your abundant provision. Let Your kingdom reign in the earth today. Forgive us. Keep us. Please send Your healing and deliverance. Watch over us and protect us. Help us make it through the tough times. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
