Live by Faith

Scripture Habakkuk 2:4 “Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith.

Observation: That was me, proud. I thought I needed to try to be proud, because I hated myself so much and needed to look for things within myself that might be worthy. I would put others down to lift myself up, but that didn’t work. God showed me the way that He wanted to live my life and gave me strength to do it. Now each day I live by faith, not in me, but in my Lord.

Application: I need to continue to increase my faith and stay close to my God. My strength comes from my Lord and if I stay close and read His word my faith will grow. I need to live by faith and trust in God.

Prayer My Lord You know your servant and how weak and distracted I get. Help me increase my faith and grow close to You. I love You and want to please You each day.
