                                 Walk of Faith
Romans 3:22
We are made right in God’s sight when we trust in Jesus Christ
to take away our sins.  And we all can be saved in this same way,
no matter who we are or what we have done.  (NLT)

     Having faith that Jesus Christ is our Lord God and Savior, is the only real hope we have in this life and the next.  Trusting that our Lord God is who He says He is, gives us a new lease on this life that carries on into the next.  Believing in the promises of our Savior brings us both courage and great perseverance in the face of impossible odds.  As it is for all believers, it was only when the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the Truth that I could put my faith in the Lord and find peace in my life.  With all the uncertainty and turmoil and catastrophes that confront our world everyday—circumstances beyond our control—we must depend on our Creator, for it is only our Lord God and Savior who can rescue and save us from the destruction that is coming to this fallen world in the near future.                             
      When you reject the Truth and ignore God’s saving grace and His future plans for you, you will live in darkness that will, if continued, forever separate you from the goodness of God.  But when you humble yourself before the Lord and admit your powerlessness against the unseen forces that consume and control the world, He will deliver you from your bondage to sin, free you from the fear of death, and begin a healing process that will transform your life no matter how deep into the darkness you are.  And once this happens, dear friend, you will begin to learn what it really means to live, and do it with joy and faith.  And when it becomes your nature to trust and live by faith in Christ Jesus, you will experience the true peace of God; knowing that the Lord is with you wherever you go.

                                          A Whisper of Hope
Walk by faith, My child…and not by sightAnd as you take your first step of faith, learn to lean on Me when you trip, for I will teach you, step by step, what you need and when you need it.  Step out in faith and experience the redeeming work of My hands.  For when I give you My Spirit, this empowers you to live beyond your natural ability and strength.

Habakkuk 2:4
“Look at the proud!  They trust in themselves,
and their lives are crooked, but the righteous
will live by their faith.  (NLT)

     So now, through faith in Christ, we are 
                  made right with God.
                        (Galatians 3:24)
