Stand In Your Faith

Ephesians 2:8-9 (CSB) For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast.

We mean well when we do the best that we can – especially in challenging times. But even that isn’t good enough for people of faith when in doing our best we do so without applying our faith in God. We say to ourselves, “Do your best, and let God do the rest.” Rather, wouldn’t we be more accurate if we said, “With God we will get through this,” or, “We can trust God to show us how to handle this.” We are powerless without God’s divine wisdom and grace. The more readily and consistently we speak and walk by our faith in Him, the richer our testimony of His Goodness will become for us to share with others. The best we can do at all times is to stand in faith with God.
