The Enduring Path of Faith

Life can sometimes seem like a barrage of challenges. There are multiple causes and issues pleading for our attention and sometimes we miss an opportunity and experience defeat because it’s just too much handle. But our consistent focus towards our faith in Jesus can still be experienced and even grown in that moment despair or defeat.

Psalm 44

The people God expressed the history of God provision (Psalm 44:1-8) as well as the current condition of God’s rejection (Psalm 44:9-16). Even during the hardship of the absence of God’s favor with the effort of their own strength, they do not waiver from relying on God (Psalm 44:17-22), but it’s as thought they release their own efforts of their battles and direct all their effort to call out to God that He would save their soul.

We love moments that align with our faith and produce fruit in our life, but sometimes we minimize the consistent focus and endurance it takes to experience the fruit (Psalm 44:23-26).

You may be enduring the brunt force of a battle but stand on God word and promise to save your life for His glory regardless of what you may have to experience in order to proclaim your faith.
