Day 146 - (Today’s Bible readings: Leviticus 14:1–32; Psalm 119:137-144; 1 Corinthians 5)
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4-5 ESV)
Most people have faith in something. However, it is the object of one’s faith that matters. Faith in a broken-down old car will get you nowhere. Faith in your physical strength will not prove trustworthy as you age. Faith in your finances will not see you through the next financial crash.
Only faith in Jesus, your Savior, lasts. Faith in Christ produces eternal victory over the disappointments, struggles and weariness of this world. Thanks be to God who gives you saving faith in His Son via His Means of Grace.
Thank You, heavenly Father, for blessing me with a victorious faith in Jesus. Thank You for the victory over sin, death and the devil that comes to me only through Jesus. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow!
