Scripture promises that God blesses faith.
We’re told that Abraham was considered righteous because of his faith (Romans 4:22).
We’re also promised that all who believe in Jesus will be saved. (John 3:16)
Faith is essential.
It’s on my mind tonight because I’ve been writing my “Acknowledgement” page for A Mary Like Me, and it’s been about those people who have encouraged my faith and spurred me on to continue the publishing process.
We can’t be saved without faith, but we also can’t do what God calls us to do without it. And we definitely can’t do it alone. We need other believers to hold our arms up when our faith wearies.
So. . . let’s focus on faith this week.

Grab your journal and pen, Bible and favorite hot drink. I’m pouring my coffee and grabbing my breakfast bar. Then I’m sitting down with Jesus to talk to Him about faith. I’ll petition for more and allow His words to nourish the deepest parts that want to doubt and fear. Want to join me?
You can join the conversation of our Facebook Fellowship page or on Periscope everyday(ish) around 9:00 EST, Lord willing. Periscope is an app on your smart phone that allows you to see me talk about the “Bite” for the day.
Back to faith, who has been the greatest person of faith in your life or who has strengthened your faith when you wanted to doubt and give up?
Have a God week!
Jesus loves you,
There’s something steady and unforced in this piece that doesn’t try to make faith sound easy, but shows it for what it is, something a man has to live out day by day, not just think about. It speaks plain about faith growing through action, through prayer, through helping others, and through digging deep into the Word until it becomes part of who you are. You can feel that it’s not about willpower alone, but about walking with something greater that carries you when your own strength runs thin. It reminds you that real faith isn’t proven in comfort, but in the way a man chooses to live when he can’t see what’s ahead. That kind of truth stays with you, quiet and firm, like something learned over time and held onto when everything else feels uncertain.
Amen! Beautifully said. Thanks for stopping by.
