Challenges Build Our Faith
When we experience difficulties in life, it is those very challenges that cause us to be built up in the faith. From those challenges we can choose to learn God’s ways of trusting and believing in Him. Or we can choose to not trust and believe and only see what He is doing.
Psalms 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
Moses chose faith over what He could see, even the wealth and riches of Egypt. In so choosing, He was able to know God’s ways, the ways of faith.
Hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
The ways of our Father, Yahuah (Lord), are the ways of faith through believing in Him and trusting that He is on our side.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Today, for those of us that may be experiencing challenges in our lives, there is a path that leads to our being built up. It is the way of believing in God and trusting Him to deliver us, even with the enemy close at our rear guard and the may waters of troubles unparted in front of us. He will make that way.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us today, now, Your overwhelming abundant blessing of provision. Let it overflow our ability to contain it. Forgive us our sins. We are a frail people, we ask that You heal us up. Those with chest conditions, let them be cleared up. Those with lung cancer, cause it to be diminished and disappear. Those with ankle and foot bone problems be strengthened. Strengthen the hearts of Your Children Father. Deliver us from the debtors that would steal from us what You alone have provided. Let the works of them and the enemy be ground to powder and scattered in the whirlwind that all men might know that You alone are Yahuah (Lord) our Elohim (God). We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
