There are times when my faith in myself is strong and times I begin to gain arrogance, boastfulness and self-reliance. I being to feel that I am the reason for where, who and what I am. I begin to loose my footing, my place. The place that God has granted me because of his favor and by no greatness of my own. I allow this faith to pull me out of position.
I doubt who I am, what my purpose is, if I can even achieve it. Why? If my faith is strong why do I begin to waiver? Is it because of Him. No. It’s because I have misplaced my faith by placing it solely in myself.
I Got This!
I Can Do It!
I’m Doing Great!
This faith is faulty. It’s the dangerous kind. THIS is the faith I need to lose. Why? Because it slowly steals the Glory from the One who has truly given me the ability to do any of what I reach for, anything He has placed in my heart is done with His Grace and Mercy and through no works of my own. This faith is an obstacle I must over-come. Pride and and self-righteousness begin to reign and humility and gratefulness are in jeopardy.
When I lose this faith it is a good thing. It gives me the opportunity and the space to place my faith in the right place. In Him who has no failure, no fault and who wants nothing but my better end. In my God who has given ultimate sacrifice for my ultimate good.
It is in Him that I need to find my NOW faith. The faith that brings me through darkness when I see no light, grants me footing when I see no ground and brings me peace in the midst of my storms. With this faith I can find no doubt, no let down, no disappointment, no failure for He is always my support. In His plans my better end is always in sight.
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Philippians 1:6 (KJV)
“…being confident of this very thing,
that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ”
When I Lose Faith, I gain strength, support, confidence and security in the plans that God has for me, my life and my family. It is only When I Lose Faith in myself that I can stand firm on my Faith in Him.
