As 21st century Americans we are capable of living our lives 99% faith-free as most of our needs–from food to medical care–are met without requiring faith, for the most part.
In challenging times, we get the chance to flex our spiritual muscle. Surely it is clumsy and awkward at first, but we can trust that God will be faithful and patient as we learn to operate in a power that has been there all along.
Scripture indicates that this life lived by faith will be closer to the life to which He has called us.
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Romans 14:23 “…for whatever is not from faith is sin.”
In uncertain times, we live from a treasure-house beyond our senses, but not any less real than what we can see.
