(Written during the height of covid)
If you are looking for Christ in this weak and brittle world, He can be found in the same place He has always been: In His Word.
As the world continues to crack and unsettle like a brittle leaf, the church will continue to get stronger as they draw strength from God as He reveals Himself through His word.
Faith is not a super power that we posses, rather it is the indwelling gift of The Holy Spirit to treasure Christ and trust in Christ.
This comes gift is given through the revelation of Jesus Christ through the Gospel, the word of God.
Christ is where faith is found, and Christ Jesus is found in God’s word.
If you have not been, now would be a good time to not only turn off the news and social media; now would be a good time to encounter God in His word, because, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).
Faith is continually strengthened as God reorients our affections to Him through His written word.
When we open God’s word up, we come into His holy sanctuary, where He dwells. This is what happened to Asaph as he wrote Psalms 73, “until I went into the sanctuary of God…”. (Psalms 73:17).
We come into the sanctuary of God, through His Word.
His word reveals Him, and It is Him who is our strength in these days, which are full of evil. As we look into the word of God and encounter Christ, through His Spirit, Christ is revealed and therefore faith is found and strengthened.
To see Christ through the eyes of faith, that only the Spirit can give, is to have faith.
As the heart and soul of a believer are steeped in God’s word, their souls are strengthened, as their souls are satisfied in Christ.
Prayer: May our hearts and souls be strengthened and filled with God as our joy through the word of Christ.
