"Behold, as for the proud one,His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith." Hab 2:4
None of us are strangers to the word "faith." We have faith in something or someone. We "step out on faith." And of course we have faith in God. But are we strangers to what faith means? More to the point, do we understand what it means to live by that faith?
Beloved, most simply put, faith is belief and the actions that are taken or avoided because of it. The 11th chapter of the book of Hebrews outlines some amazing things that people have done because of their faith in God and His promises. The question is, how is it manifested in our daily lives? How do we "live by faith?" To be sure, the answer to such questions could be a list that is as long as the day. Everything on that list, however, can be summed up in one thought: live every moment of your life as if God is physically with you every step of the way. How would that change what you think about? How would that change what you do, where you go, who you see and how you interact with others? What would you learn from spending time with God? How much of a better person would you be? What would happen to your love and your peace of mind?
The righteous live this way and already know the answers to these questions.
Rejoicing in the Lord,
Lee
