Hebrews 10:39
We are not among those who draw back and perish, but among those who have faith and will possess life.
------------------------------------------------------
In elementary school, we would learn about positive numbers and the different mathematical operations. And so, adding a positive number to another positive number will result to a sum bigger than the individual ones.
Then it goes complicated. We were introduced to a concept of negative numbers. Such that adding a positive number and a negative number will yield something smaller – a loss. We would not understand this concept until we are in college or already working when we learn the concept of profit and loss in a business.
But did you know that this would not apply to our spiritual lives?
As a child, we would have a lot of happy moments. We can say that these are positive numbers. And we are always being grateful to God as a result. But as we go through life, negative happenings start to come in.
Negative numbers that when added to our positive total, could reduce our faith in God.
That is what is happening to most of us. But it should not be the case. Adding a negative event to a positive event should yield even more greater faith in God. For those two should work together in making us stronger and tougher in facing challenges that life can offer.
We cannot afford to lose that faith. If that faith goes negative, then we tend to rebel against Him. And isn’t that the reason why Satan is where he is now?
Add your blessings with the absolute value of the problems that comes your way. Increase your faith more and more – in best and in worst.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, may my faith in You increase more and more. Teach me to overcome all my problems and live a life with You. Amen +
The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
