WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?

Ps.20:7-8
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, But we will remember and trust in the name of the
Lord our God. They have bowed down and fallen, But we have risen and stood upright.”
Confidence is a noun that mean the feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on
someone or something, It is therefore a branch of faith. There are a lot of this that gives an
individual confidence, such as position, wealth, beauty, educational achievements and family
background etc, and rightly so, because it takes hard work to be successful, and anyone should
be proud of their achievements, however to place faith or absolute confidence will be to upgrade
these to the position of a god in your life. It is certain that beauty is fleeting, knowledge shall
vanish, wealth grows wings a fly away, no power of man can deliver him in the day of death,
despite his great position, King Nebuchadnezzar lived as an animal for many years.
Phil.3:4 & 8
“Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath
whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the
excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,”
Paul was a man who understood that placing confidence in anything or anyone else than in the
Lord Jesus Christ is a clear manifestation of ignorance, and a panacea for sorrow, pain, pain
and disappointment.
I have seen people, when they are faced with test and trials, running helter skelter for the help
of men leaving God out of the equation notwithstanding that the scriptures made it clear that the
help of man is vain. They lack understanding that the one that put the test to them is the Devil,
yet they go seeking solution and help from his agents, will he cause a division to his own
kingdom (Matt.12:25-26)?
Brethren, why not put total faith in the Father of lights Jam.1:17 says
“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of
lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or
setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].”
He is the only One that can keep you from falling and failing, His gifts to you are without
repentance, every other source will dry up, He alone is El Shaddai.
Before telling anyone about that challenge you are facing, instead of crying and losing hope, tell
it to Him, totally rely on Him, and He will make all things beautiful for you.
