When We Live By Faith

 We live in times that are becoming increasingly difficult to make ends meet, and the temptation is to look at those around at those who appear to be so bountifully endowed with the riches of this world and yearn for a little of what they have. It seems so unfair, it seems so unjust that those who seek after the wealth of this world appear to have a purse filled with coins, with little to concern with their godless lives, whereas we have such a meagre portion and can scarce breathe for worry about provision for tomorrow, which enlarges into fear of the future. Yet, as God's blood-bought children, we are told: Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
When we look to the wealth of this world, we will be left empty. When we look to 'self' to supply our needs, we are living in carnal unbelief. But When We Live By Faith, we are trusting Him in all things even when times are increasingly difficult and our supply seems to have dried up. When we trust in the Lord with all our heart and do not lean on our own understanding, and when we acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will lead us in the best path even though it may not be in the direction we expect!

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we don’t want to look to the evaporating riches of this world, knowing that our treasure is kept for us in heaven. Please, Father, provide for our needs today and help us not to worry about tomorrow but simply to trust in Your Word, for You have promised to supply all our needs according to Your riches and glory. Thank You, Father, in Jesus' name, we Pray AMEN.
