Reflection
We have been sent out by God to the world, to our offices, to our families, and to our friends. We are called to share the love and truth God has bestowed upon us with others. Our coming into salvation was not the end of the journey; instead, it is the beginning of a life of continuous revelation of the things of God.
Faith is very key in our walk with God; we are called to engage in faith, believe, and trust in Jesus Christ. Our belief in God should not only be an inward resolve but also an outward resolve. We have to confess our inward reality. Truth is, even though we are in Christ, this will be hard. Our old self will always want to rise from the dead, but we have to lay it down; come rain, come sunshine.
Prayer
Thank you God, for your hand upon my life, thank you for the grace and the work it has done in my life. It is my prayer today that you increase my faith in you, Jesus, and give me the strength to believe in that which I do not see, realities that my life doesn’t currently affirm. I pray that you may give me the strength to daily confess with my mouth of your goodness and mercies.
In Jesus' mighty name I pray, Amen.
