Our faith will be defined most in the seasons where life is the worst. And our faith is best when it’s fastened to actual promises, not future outcomes.
Wrinkle-free days usually don’t create great faith, because we don’t know what we actually believe until what we claim to believe is tested.Those unexpected things life throws our way can end up being pivotal circumstances in our faith journeys.
Nothing causes us to depend on God more than pushing through our inadequacies to help other people.When we serve in a ministry we take personally, we experience God’s power and faithfulness.
Sometimes it seems God drops someone into our lives at just the right time.The defining moments and seasons of our lives usually revolve around those providential relationships.
We’ve all heard stories of people—or we know people—who have what appears to be unshakable faith. They have a confidence in God that informs what they do.Where does faith like that come from?
We want to be open-minded, but we naturally resist things we can’t control or don’t understand. So how can we learn to be open to changing our ideals and beliefs, especially if we may be wrong about something? It begins with a simple prayer.
