Faith isn’t a good luck charm. It isn’t merely an emotional feeling. It isn’t something we should ever take for granted. No, it is trusting with all your heart that God, not you or me, is in total control of all things and because He’s the Creator He’ll lovingly make sure that “all things work for good to those who love Him.” Never forget that Christian faith is the most powerful weapon there is against the hard reality of life. It replaces fear with supreme confidence. That’s because “faith is a gift from God, not of works, so that no one can boast.” Fix your gaze on Christ. Worship weekly. Commune regularly. Be “hearers of the Word and doer’s of the Word.” Fear will still stalk you, but it will never catch you and pull you down. Amen
