Moral Courage

Injustices……..life is full of them. It will rob of life’s joy if we focus on these and how they affect us unjustly. Only a heaven/Godly focus can provide us with the spiritual armor to effectively combat the ‘wrongs’ of life, allowing us to trust in God’s divine plan for each of us and experiencing the peace that passes all understanding. 1 Samuel 17:37a, "The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." God is the great deliverer and in His time He will right all wrongs as He is faithful to his promises, righteous and just. Do I believe and live it??? A challenge for each of us, yet achievable!!! Blessings in your pursuit…….TO

Faith Barometer

Faith-believing in an unknown/uncertainty/something unseen. In today’s visual society, a strong faith in anything can be challenging. To see or experience something makes belief/faith much easier. Jesus tells us in John 20:27-29 while proving to a doubter ( Thomas), blessed are those that have not seen and yet believe(vs 29). What a powerful example to gauge our faith upon. Do I truly believe without seeing? If I open my eyes and heart-while I cannot physically see God- I can see God’s creation and his Spirit at work. Where is the mark on your/my faith barometer?
