“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1
Many of us have been through some storms and we have seen God moved on our behalf. But as we continue to live, we will always have other challenges that may seem impossible, and our faith will continue to be tested.
Our faith in God must remain strong and unshaken no matter what. But over the years I have come to realized that sometimes that is not always the case. Because of our human frailty we tend to get nervous during times of distress, and if we are not careful fear can easily take the place of faith. Therefore, it is important for us to exercise faith in the now. Now faith is consistent and persistent. It stays current with a vivid reminder that the same God who has delivered in the past will deliver again.
The children of Israel did not exercise their now faith very well. They complained a lot and forget past miracles the moment they are faced with a challenge. God wanted to build up their faith, but they were not patient enough for that to happen. They wanted to see instant results and if not, they complained. They have always had a deficit in their faith walk long before they were slaves in Egypt. And even though they saw some of the greatest miracles on their way out of Egypt they still fell short on developing faith in God.
What about you? have you activated your now faith or have you fallen short in that area? Now is high time to put your faith into action. We have seen enough to know and understand that it will take faith in God to overcome in this season and beyond. The Bible made it clear that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews11:6). What are you waiting for? let your faith in God become your foundation and always be ready exercise your faith in the now.
Let us pray: Lord please forgive me of my sins today. Thank you for your word. Help me to always stand on faith based on your word and help me to continue to walk in faith in every season in Jesus name. Amen. Until next time. God bless you.
