Worth it~

Greetings,

I finally decided that an old, Hunter green armoire that has been sitting in my garage for three years is headed to the Goodwill.  I am not going to go through all the trouble of stripping the paint and refinishing it in a blue/gray patina like I wanted to.  It's just not worth the effort.

"What is worth the effort?" you ask.

Strengthening our FAITH.

Hebrews 11:1 "The fundamental fact of existence is that trust in God, faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see" (Message Version).

Our foundation must be firm or everything will wobble.  And the way we strengthen our faith is through prayer and reading the Bible.

And remember, God's truth in this verse is not that life becomes bearable. Rather, an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom, and goodness of God makes life worth living!  Amen!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We choose faith.  We confidently believe in Your power, wisdom, and goodness AND in Your desire to share it all with us.  Faith helps us when we can't see the answers to prayer, and it sustains our souls as we wait upon You.  By faith we believe  today's prayer has also strengthened our foundation.  In Jesus' name, AMEN~
