Good Morning,
Today's writing was authored by Carol Steficek, and her title for it is, "LIVE BY FAITH..." Many people find it hard to live by faith. The problem is that they cannot see what is there by faith, and so they try to operate outside of faith. That does not work qt all. Carol wrote, "Living by faith allows the believer to live in joy and confidence that no matter what, God is there for him or her. That sure beats facing the uncertainties of life alone."
(Be sure to listen to the song after this. It is the story of a girl
who is blind and yet she can "see."
She rejoices in the fact that
the first face she will see will be the face of
JESUS!)

Wishing you all a great weekend albeit a wet one. God is giving us healing rain for the drought struck California and healing "rain" of a different kind for our country as well.
God bless
Corinne & Carol

Saturday Devotional
"LIVE BY FAITH"
"But my righteous
one will live by faith..."
Hebrews 10:38a
Many people will try anything in life to help them with problems, health
issues, financial setbacks, or any other challenges they face. There is a
plethora of self-help books out there on any topic. They all sell well
whether they are helpful or not.
The Christian, however, lives a life of faith. Faith is the reality by
which we know God. The world must see first before it will believe
anything. The person who has faith, sees and "unseen reality and
knows that they can trust God without actually seeing first.
Answered prayer comes when believing what is not seen already exists and is on
its way. Since God is not confined to present time, He already is in the
future working out His plans. We must wait until we get to that, when
faith becomes sight.
The person who doesn't believe in God thinks this is foolishness. The
person who has a trusting relationship with God knows it is the only way to
live. This takes the burden of worry and uncertainty off of the
believer's shoulders and puts it into the hands of God. God is our
Father. He gives good gifts to His children, bears our burdens for us,
forgives our sins, and loves us with an everlasting love.
Living by faith allows the believer to live in joy and confidence that no
matter what, God is there for him or her. That sure beats facing the
uncertainties of life alone.
