Day 62: Psalm 42, Proverbs 24:18-20, Romans 14, Genesis 35-36
Have Absolute Faith In God
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin. Romans 14:23 NKJV (http://bible.com/114/rom.14.23.NKJV)
We may be offended if someone does not trust us, especially if that someone is our loved one. Gaining trust is so important. Hence, our God emphasizes much on trust or faith. In fact, the Bible defines faith as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It went on to show us great examples of our fore fathers who had shown such great faith in God, such as Enoch who was just taken away and did not taste death as he pleased God by his faith. He believed Him as Who He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Another great example is Noah, who being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith (Hebrews 11:1, 4-7). In today's reading, the Apostle Paul even said that whatever that is not from faith is sin. How important then, that we must have absolute faith in our Almighty God, our El-Shaddai! Philip Yancey said that faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse. https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC (please click to view a visual)
