Living By Faith

Scripture: Romans 1: [17] For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Observation: My goal is to be righteous to God. That I will live a life pleasing to Him. Before I can do that, my faith needs to increase. Each day I start out worrying about something and throughout the day it consumes my thoughts. Worrying is just a lack of faith in God’s love for me.

Application: As soon as I begin to worry I need to give that burden to God. Make sure I don’t pick it up again and when tempted, focus my thoughts on Jesus and the love He has for me knowing He will protect me.

Prayer: My Lord forgive me for my lack of faith. Increase my faith that I will trust in you with all of my heart and that you may look at me and see righteousness.
