Now faith is the
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
As I pondered what to write for today's message
and this being the beginning of a New Year with high expectations and set goals
that we wish to achieve this year. The Holy Spirit led me to write about faith
as our faith will be tested on many fronts such as: political, everyday beliefs
in ourselves to accomplish set goals and our Christian faith will be thoroughly
tested.
These questions come to mind, in the midst of
the trials that will come upon us how will we respond? Will it be one of bold
faith that will enable us to stand in the face of stiff opposition? Will it be
an unwavering faith that will cause us to persevere until we see the desired
result?
Reflecting on this Sunday's and next Sunday's
lesson studies that look at faith from different perspectives taken from the
book of Daniel where his faith was tested and he was rewarded for his faith. In
our society today, our resolve is being thoroughly tested on a political, moral
and Christian front. Our response and measure of endurance will speak to our
character, moral values and determination to be an agent of change. In the
Christian community we are to boldly witness Christ; in the political arena be
an agent of change, and on the moral/character fronts stand for what is right.
Allow me to encourage all that whatever front
our faith is being tested we must approach it with boldness and with an
unwavering commitment to be apart of the change.
All of us have a role to play in our
society; therefore embrace it with boldness.
