It's so easy to have faith in God when everything is going well. Unfortunately though, we live in a fallen world and things aren't always going to go like we want them to {or like we plan for them to go}.
1 Corinthians 1:9 (ESV) tells us "God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." I can testify to God's faithfulness. My family has experienced it over and over again in various areas of our lives.
As I was contemplating God's faithfulness recently during a financial trial, my mind recollected all the times past that we had experienced God's faithfulness in this same area. Being a one-income family {so I can homeschool} brings with it certain sacrifices, and definitely tight spots every now and again. But this I know - God is faithful!
As those times of the faithfulness of God flooded my mind, this is what I heard God whisper to my heart during this current situation we were facing...
Yes...this is how I want to live! My God is faithful and I choose to stand on that faithfulness when times of trial come my way. Actually, my husband and I now are seeing these times as opportunities to TRUST God. This is my prayer for you as well, dear friend!
Walking in His Grace,
Laurie
Amen!
