Be Strong and Take Heart, Your Faith is Working! Keep Hope Alive!

If you hope in the Lord, you can take heart in knowing you will have the strength to do whatever is necessary. Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). Everything we need physically, mentally and spiritually can be obtained from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His purpose when He walked the earth was to provide a way for our deliverance from the bondage of sin. We couldn’t help but do wrong before getting saved. Even now as Christians the good fight of faith is always before us. We can be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might by spending quality time with Him, it’ll rub off on you (Ephesians 6:10). Without expectation of having this strength and power of God, it will not be coming your way. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and without that confident favorable expectation your faith can’t work and your strength will wane. Hope is our expectations in action, but without the driving force of our faith, (our belief that God will come through for us), your answer will be hindered. God needs a clear pipeline of untainted, unadulterated faith in believing in Him. Be courageous in your heart, trust God no matter how bad things look. We walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). We are to be led by our spirits and not by our flesh (Galatians:5:18). Faith is faith, and your senses (emotions, what you think works best, or sounds best) have zero input when it comes to living by faith. The sights and sounds of this world should not ever negatively influence our belief in God. Be strong and take heart.
