Faith As Key

​Unlocking Blessings Through Faith

"Your faith could be the key to unlocking a multitude of blessings in your life."

Consider the idea that God has made all these promises to us, if we believe in Him wholeheartedly, but we fail to see those promises in our lives because we half-heartedly believe in Him and trust Him to do what His word says He will do? How many times have we professed with our mouths that we are trusting in the Lord for forgiveness and to bring something to pass, yet go home and worry with our brain and heart and cry real tears? We call everyone we know to receive confirmation, advice, consolation, etc., and with every call, we tell Him that we truly don’t trust in Him. We may as well call God a liar to His face.

Could a lack of faith in Him be hindering us from God’s best?

Faith often makes us work harder because we know we can achieve something. I remember taking my last Statistics class in college and studying the review material every night into the early morning hours because I knew I could make an “A” on the final. Sure enough, I got every problem correct. When we have underlying doubt in ourselves and in Him, we can find ourselves making excuses to not give it our all, even when our mouths profess otherwise. In all things that I do, I must know that God’s got my back and is working things out for my best interest, even when it does not look like it. My attitude, behavior, and words will tell the truth about my level of faith, because if I know God is working it out, nothing can deter my spirits and how I face the day.

If I believe wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ died for my sins, I can stand tall in my imperfection. I can face the day with a smile despite what things look like around me. We must believe that God has placed on the inside of us what no man or thought can deny on the outside of us. We must envision it even if we can’t see it. It’s time to step our faith up!

Scriptures for Reflection:

Luke 18:27 ESV: “But he said, ‘What is impossible with men is possible with God.’”

Romans 10:17 ESV: “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”

Matthew 21:21 ESV: “And Jesus answered them, ‘Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.”

Romans 4:22 ESV: “That is why his faith was ‘counted to him as righteousness.’”

Faith is not just believing in His promises but living in alignment with them, so our words, actions, and thoughts reflect the trust we proclaim. Let’s step into our faith and unlock the blessings waiting to overflow in our lives.
