This Week’s Theme: Faith – by Ken Turner, May 23, 2018
James 1:3
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Thought for today…
Your faith, when it is tried and tested, leads to spiritual maturity. There are three responses to the test of your faith: Hebrews 12:5, 11
1. Despise It –
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord…
2. Faint Under It –
nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
3. Be Exercised By It –
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Thought for today…
Jesus not only wants us to live by faith, He is the “author” of faith. He is the original pioneer of a faith-filled life. Christ is our role model, and our example to follow. He is also the “finisher” of faith. He perfected faith as a trait we can embrace and continue to cultivate in our spiritual walk. Don’t try to live a productive Christian life ignoring the need to put your faith into practice. What are you doing yourself that you could hand over to God, asking Him in faith, to bring a greater result?

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Thought for today…
Faith is the foundation of hope and joy. It is our confidence and our strength. Faith is the belief in everything God promises. He is good, He will provide, and He will deliver on every promise He has made to us as His children. Our faith produces a joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Ephesians 6:16
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Thought for today…
Your shield of faith should be carried with you daily. A helmet protects the head, a breastplate protects the vital organs, but a shield is held and can be moved in any direction. Satan, the enemy, will attack on every side when he sees you are vulnerable. He will shoot his “fiery darts” of temptation. Never underestimate the power of being grounded in your faith. A faith unwavering in belief in the power and goodness of God.

II Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight:
Thought for today…
We need “faith” for the journey we travel in this world. We will have “sight” when we join our heavenly father in heaven. For the time being, we walk by faith while we are here, and we will have sight when we are there.
