September Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 14

Hello friends! 

The month is almost gone but we are still plugging away at scripture and I hope you are learning and meditating on these verses this month.  I have enjoyed writing and digging into them with you all! 

Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 14 

“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.””

Romans1:17NASB

As a believer and follower of Jesus, we are made righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ.  There is not anything in me that is good.  Jesus Christ makes me good. 

God is who we must learn about in order to know who we should be and how we can through faith grow.  I use to think since God saved me from sin, I didn’t have to worry about anything else.  I could just sit back and not really do anything else.  My faith would just be there.  My knowledge was still second hand from the Pastor.  My knowledge came from the world more than the Bible and as a result my faith was weak. 

I since have learned my faith can not grow without more knowledge of God than anything else.  I can not expect to know how to walk in faith if my faith is still only what others tell me.  

The Bible is for every one of us.  God expects us to learn and become His partner in growing our faith together. Today will you open the Word with me and pray that the Holy Spirit will fill us and help us to learn more about who God is?   

Blessings-

God’s Love is Faithful

Jesus and Coffee Bracelet

Hello friends!

I have been married for 24 years and I wanted to share a little something I have learned during these years. 

God is faithful even when we are not.  

Sometimes we hear these words and I am not sure I ever really believed it until I lived it out in my life.  As a married woman who thought I knew everything and knew nothing of God’s faithfulness until my marriage was crumbling around me and I was deep in depression and sadness. Hiding it all on the inside until I could not anymore. God will bring us to a point and at that point we must decide. Follow His way or follow the worlds way.  In most marriages today I believe following the worlds way is the most popular.  When the road gets tough we bail out.  Now, I know the case may be for some that your spouse makes the wrong choice and leaves the marriage without involving you and you have no control over the decisions of your spouse.  I say this because marriage is commitment between two people and there is a gamete of situations we all face in marrraige but in my situation I focused on fixing me and my relationship with God. My husband was already focusing himself on his relationship with God so together we could find that foundation to stand our marriage on.
 Jesus Christ is that firm foundation.  

I called upon God in prayer.  God showed me His love through prayer and as I read His Word.  I felt the power of God working in my marriage and working on me and my husband.  There is no other love that is as faithful as God’s steadfast love.  Believe that.  Any problems I had with my husband God brought to light.  It was a problem with my perspective on my husband not what my husband did or didn't do.  I learned to seek after God more and more than a fleeting feeling from my husband.  I soon learned my faithfulness to Jesus grew a deeper faithfulness in relationship with my husband. 

Through Jesus we can experience this faithful love and share it with our spouses and others around us 💗  I would love to hear what qualities of God you have been able to share in marriage over the years. 

Bless you friends! .
