“But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you
and guard you from the evil one.”
II Thessalonians 3:3
God is ever faithful. He keeps His Word. He is a promise keeper.
We may not always know or understand what He is doing, but we know HIM. He is for us. He loves us. He has a plan, and his plan is not only for our good, but – more importantly – it is for His glory.
When any human being says, “Trust me,” we may understandably ask for details. But when God says, “Trust me,” we need not hesitate. No need to question. No room for doubt.
Whatever God asks of us, we can – with complete confidence – choose to:
- Stop
- Stay
- Release
- Run
- Hide
- Hold on
- Hold fast
- Wait
- Go
- Love
- Resist
- Stand firm
- Stand up
- Sit down
- Forgive
The assignment will differ from person to person, and from day to day for each person. Each moment may offer the choice to obey or not. Obedience is the key ingredient for sanctification. And each time we follow in obedience, the roots of our faith go deeper. We are stronger in Him.
It is a scary, pricey, risky, and exhilarating way to live. Yet, as Dr. David Burnham said, “The Christian life is not the easiest life, but it is the best life!”
Are you intrigued by a faith-fueled life? Have you tried living this way? Did you pray the prayer of faith for salvation all those years ago? Have you been lulled into thinking that faith saved you back then, but faith has little to do with today?
Yes, faith was for that day back then … but faith is also our fuel for living every day now!
We can live by faith because we know God is faithful!
Wherever He sends, whatever assignment He makes, no matter what He asks of us — He goes with us. We are never alone. He promised to never leave us and never forsake us, and our God never breaks His word.
Do you believe He “will establish you and guard you” as promised? If so, then what are you waiting for? Time to live by faith. For the woman of God, that’s what “living large” really means!
