Shield of Faith

Greetings and Happy Sabbath,

Let's finish up our Armor of God series.

Shield of Faith-

There are going to be times where we are tested by our faith and because of our faith.

We are to stand firm in our faith, even we are asked, "You don't believe that anymore do you? Yes, I do." Our faith is the foundation of our lives, everything we do we need to do for the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31), even if it's changing a diaper, making dinner, doing our best at our jobs, doing volunteer work or being a shoulder to cry on.

Our faith gives us inner peace too. When life's trials come at us, wether we see them coming or we get blindsided with the worse case scenario and everything in between, we need to lean on God to help us thru those trials & tribulations.

We also need to be ready to talk about our faith, about God & about Yeshua. We need to talk about why we do what we do and that Yeshua didn't come to earth to teach a religion (which is a manmade concept) but a way of life, a relationship. That without him, our lives would be meaningless.

Our faith needs to be unshakeable. I struggled with my faith for over 4 years because of all the curveballs that were thrown my direction, especially after the death of my husband. The longer I struggled, the more trials that started and they didn't have an end in sight. Once I turned back to him, most of the trials ended, others ended after a little more struggle. Of course, there are still some trials leading up to the Spring and Fall festivals but hopefully the will be mild compared to what that final trial at the judgement seat could be.

So, are you standing firm or are you waveing?

Until next week,

Lori
