Blessing Comes Through Faith
Passage to be read: Galatians 03: 01 - 14
It is not the law that makes us right with God; but our faith! Today as we stand before God, with all sorts of thoughts that would hinder our happiness and calmness, we want to make ourselves right with Him. And we do not need any law to make us right in front of Him, because faith alone is enough! It is this strong faith in God that makes us right in front of His eyes. And for those who are right in the sight of the Lord, faith alone is sufficient enough to live, to survive, to overcome every single obstacle that is before us.
I pray that God our faith in God will be making us right in His presence, and let this faith we have in God be the only means of life. Let our faith grow day by day, through every trial and storm, and let it stand firm through all seasons. Let us seek God's blessings through this unshakable faith.
May God bless you.
Yours in Christ,
Now it is clear that no one can be made right with God by the law,
because the Scriptures say, “Those who are right with God will live by faith.”
(Galatians 03: 11)
There may be many questions in our hearts, still awaiting answers from God. At times, the human wisdom and the logic do not apply. Confusions all around. Everything looks vacant. Nothing seems possible. Closed doors and empty vessels. Tired and depressed, we may stand without knowing where to go and what move to make next.
The inner pain increases after every thought of impossibility and our minds make their own calculations with the limited measuring scale within our human boundaries. We tend to look at the worst situations that this temporary condition would take us into. And, in such moments, where does our faith go?
God's word says, "those who are right with God will live by faith." The intimacy with God ensures that your ways are right in the sight of the Lord, and being right with God ensures our faith in Him. Whatever the situation that prevails around us, whatever the storm, the wave, our faith in God stands firm. And we trust Him through all these times of trials and emptiness.
For those who trust in the Lord, there are no other means of living, surviving or existing. The only, and the one and only way is faith! And let me repeat, that it is faith and faith alone. Through all seasons and climates of living conditions, it is this faith in God that keep us moving. This faith does not just help us survive the worst moments, but it also brings blessings in our lives. The 'after' becomes greater than the 'before.' After we come through a situation of trials and tribulations, we realise that the unshakable faith we had on our God has enabled the situations around us to become better. During this entire process of becoming strengthened in our faith, we have given God the space to work on our life-conditions, and He has made them better than before. And we realise the blessing God has kept for us at the end since we strongly had our faith on Him.
