As usual, I took notes during the sermon at church this morning. Brian Conklin’s message about faith spoke to me. I hope you find encouragement here, too.
Faith is assurance and conviction
Faith is a settled confidence
Faith is conviction – a deep certainty
Faith is grounded in reality
Faith is evidence of things not seen
Change is hard – Uncertainty is difficult
What will come next? We wonder.
We trust the Lord who knows the future.
Living in the present as if God’s future
Is already here… we can trust Him
Step into the light of God’s promises
Faith gives us the courage to obey when the road ahead is unclear
Faith is a journey. Set out into the unknown
It’s a direction without an itinerary
The road is not easy; it’s tough!
But faith helps us find God’s Way
We are at an in-between place
But God is walking beside us
He has never left His people in transition
He is in you as you move forward
Faith is about the assurance
That God has your back!
Stay rooted in Trust; step out in confidence.
Support and encourage one another.
Keep showing up!
God is with you.
Amen?

A fine statement
Thank you, Derrick.
I logged today in to read your latest blog while eating my lunch. As usual, the timing of your message here is perfect. I just had a conversation with my coworker about our dear colleague Karen who is dealing with a relapse of cancer. She beat it the first time and was in remission for 8 years. During the last 2 years her husband was diagnosed with cancer and sadly passed away last year. Now her cancer is back and the doctors are treating aggressively. She sounds terrible on calls and is clearly in a lot of discomfort. Yet, her faith is strong! Her attitude is amazing. She always goes out of her way for others. She’s the perfect example of a person who has entrusted God to take care of her. “Faith is about the assurance that God has your back! Stay rooted in Trust.”
Thank you for your reply. I am so glad she has her faith to reassure her!
Living in the present as if God’s future is already here…
I like this…. it is a great description of faith!
Thank you, Dwight. I liked it, too.
