How you livin'?

Romans 1:17 "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from Faith to Faith: as it is written, The just shall live by Faith." 

         Please excuse my Ebonics, but how you livin'? What happens when you have an issue occur in your life? Are you the planning type? Meaning if things do not pan out the way you believe, then you doubt God? How you livin'? Do you find yourself finding more faith in dating sites, speed dating, trying to meet people at church, or at weddings than relying on God for your mate? How you livin'? See, it is so easy to proclaim our faith, but to actually live out what we believe is totally different. If we believe in a God that we do not see, we should also believe when we are unable to see when we will get out of the storm, marry, have kids, get healed, so in and so forth. It is the SAME belief system. How can we convince the world that our God is this and that when they see us doubting like they do?

           So the writer states, in order to have the Righteousness of God revealed to us, we must be in The Faith. Without faith we are unable to see God working, moving, believing His Word, and that He cares. For it is written the very hair on our heads are numbered. God does not lie, we do! Why do we find it so hard to keep our faith in Him? There are always options when being put in various trials and difficult moments. Either we can question and ponder what God will do and when will He do it? Or we can keep our word and trust God through our faith in Jesus. Now tell me what will questioning God  accomplish? Will that make us feel better? Is that bringing a smile to God's Face? How do you think He feels when we choose not to trust Him because at this point being Christians we vowed to trust and believe in Him. Point being, you know my "progressed" relationship I thought I had, has now ended since last week. I was hurt, confused, BUT I said I could either wail and doubt or I could choose to live in the faith. The same faith God uses me to tell others about I had to lean on and will have to lean on for the rest of my life. My faith in Jesus is The ONLY thing that is sufficient enough to hold me up in difficult times. I do not know what God is doing. Have no clue if we will get back together, but I do know all things work together for the good of them that love The Lord and them that are The called according to His Purpose. I do know God cares more for me than anyone in this world could and there is no reason to doubt.

            My faith in Christ gives me strength. My faith in Christ shows me Love so with that I CAN Love. My Faith in Christ is really all I have. Everything can be taken away, but no one can take away my Faith! So the just shall live by Faith. Rightfully so, we were bought with a Price. It did not say the just can live by Faith as if we have another option or the just may live by Faith. The just SHALL live by Faith. It is quite impossible to be of God doubting Him all the time. Faith is more than attending church service and Bible study. See people can be fooled with outer appearances. Faith is when no one is around and you are still able to encourage yourself in The Word, pray to God, & listen to Him. God warns us to not be like the people in the synagogues praying long prayers to be seen, but that's a whole other post. Let's practice living in Faith. For what good is it to profess to know God Whom we do not see and doubt The Works He is Doing in our lives that we also are unable to see?
