TODAY'S FOOD FOR THE SOUL 1 Peter 1:3-12
TODAY'S RHEMA
1 Peter 1:3 "Praise be to the God and Father our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,"
Every one of us has a lot of hope in our lives. We expect to get a better life, happy family, job with a good income, house and do not have to worry about foods. Moreover, we expect to have some savings or investment which are enough to guarantee our future. As people who believe in God, we surely bring those things in our prayer. However, sometimes a lot of things block our hopes. Our hopes sometimes being hampered by so many problems; illness, family issues, being fired from work or vague future.
It makes us to question all things happen with "Why do they all happen?" We have prayed and waited for the miracles happen, yet we have seen it yet. People may say that we have a little faith. Then we try to have a bigger faith. However, we may forget that faith is not the same as a self-motivation. Faith is grace from God.
If all this time we put a faith on our problems, it means that we have lost our focus. Faith is not about us or our struggle. Faith is required in our action yet faith is not about our action. Faith is about God. It is about what we know about Him and what He has done and will do for us. It means that His plan for us is a life which is full of hope. Seek God and know Him more until we can see the way God sees, until everything we speak the way God speaks and until we live in the faith dimension. Thus, faith will be added to our lives and His power will be manifested to create miraculous things in our lives.
REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, faith is not about our struggle. FAITH IS ABOUT RECEIVING what God has done in our lives.
