By Faith

Do you ever have those days where you just feel a burden upon you due to the circumstances in your life? Maybe you are going through a difficult time, or someone close to you is in trouble or ill, and you just can't shake the heavy feeling. Even as believers we experience times of uncertainty, we know we are not supposed to worry and yet our human nature has a hard time letting go of the anxiety. In 1 Peter 5:7 we are reminded to bring our cares to God "casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."

It is during these times that we must draw on our faith to see us through.

"for we walk by faith, not by sight" 2 Corinthians 5:7

Rather than focussing on what we see happening around us, we need to turn our attention to our Lord who has saved us, rely on Him and on the promises we have received. He will never leave nor forsake us, and He can bring good out of every situation.

So take courage, remember God's love for you, and stand firm on the faith through which you are saved.
