God’s love, His
faithfulness, His grace and mercy will never fail. He will never, ever leave
you. His promises are eternal and all will come to pass. His plans for you are
good and His will is pleasing. All He asks of us is to trust Him, to have faith
in Him above all else.
For in
the gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed-a righteousness that is by
faith from first to last-just as it is written, “The righteous will live by
faith.” Romans 1:17
We become right
with God when we believe in Jesus as Savior. That is all it takes. The verse
above tells us. It is all about faith, from first to last. Faith is the
foundation of it all. God will remain faithful to you and to me. Let’s trust
Him above all else with faith after faith. When doubt and fear rise up, have
faith. When grief overwhelms, have faith. When you are lost, have faith.
Our energetic,
sweet, handsome gramdsons slept over recently.
After Gramps read them, “Green Eggs and Ham” time after time, one of
them said, “It just gets funnier and funnier every time.” There is nothing
sweeter in the world than the sound of their belly laughs.
Right after that,
Gavin taught me a lesson about faith. It
was time for bed. I tucked them into their bunk beds ready for a story and
prayers. I talked about Jesus in the manger, how God had come from heaven to
live a life here on earth, how the angels surrounded Him and the shepherds and
wise men worshipped Him, ready to share the good news.
Gavin stopped me
and said, “Nana, do you know what the best thing is?” I askd, “No, what?” He replied, “It’s a true story!” The faith of a child. Jesus told us just
that.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me
and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
Have faith. It’s
true!
Father,
The gift of faith in You is a miracle that will keep us secure
until we reach heaven. Show us Your love as we continue to trust and have faith
in Your Son, Jesus and in His name we pray.
Amen
