A Challenge

This morning I received a daily devotion with the following verse:
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must belive that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. -Hebrews 11.6
This is very challenging because it is something that I struggle with deeply. It’s just hard to have faith. I find that it is so much easier to lean on myself, on knowledge, and a plethora of other things. But the truth is that our only security comes from Christ.
I have recently found myself not trusting Christ and not having faith. This economy is a mess – not only in the US but worldwide. Our money is slowly becoming worthless. Our freedoms are slowly being taken away. Our morals are eroding.
It’s scary if you don’t have faith. This world is corrupt and hard. We are fragile and so small compared to the rest of creation. We are at the mercy of others and nature. It’s terrifying without God.
So this will be my new daily challenge: To fully put my faith in Christ, trusting in His sovereignty and goodness.
