FAITH IS A CHOICE.
.
Recently, I was in 1st Corinthians 13, no not the parts that everyone quotes (side-challenge to review the entire context of a popular verse or passage you know).
.
It was the part where it talks about putting the childish nature away.
.
When I got to the end, I had such a realization. Here is the verse (very popular, but also very important). Once again, I saw something I had never "heard" before.
.
"And now belief, expectation, and love remain - these three. But the greatest of these is love."
.
I had been focused on the "greatest of these" (as most do), but I had completely missed the other two things mentioned in this verse. That's 2/3rds of the 3 most important things in the world, according to the Word of God.
.
Personally, I have been focusing on both belief and love, but I hadn't even considered "expectation". That's the 3rd string in a cord not easily broken! Another Scripture.
.
It's something I have rather failed at.
.
I am grateful when the Holy Spirit through the spirits of wisdom, truth, understanding & knowledge shows us our blind spot, to help us go forward.
.
It's a choice!!
.
If I live a submitted life, I don't make my own plans. I find the steps God has already laid out for me, I do my best to be obedient and in alignment! And in the right Spirit. I don't need to figure anything out, I just need to heed the call.
.
If I don't know a single thing else in life, my guiding light through everything: is KNOWING beyond a shadow of a doubt that GOD IS GOOD!!! And act like I actually believe that is true - to live in a manner that proves that, as my core belief. Sometimes, in the hardest moments, that's the only thing I can believe is true!
.
If I didn't truly BELIEVE that, I could be swayed. I could cave to what I see. I could cave to what I'm feeling. BUT I KNOW FEELINGS LIE, AND I WALK BY BELIEF‼️‼️‼️ NOT BY SIGHT.
.
This is why it's important to get into the Word of God. When times get rough, what do you have, to stand on?
