Each day is a new opportunity to move in the atmosphere of faith that God has for us. Each new day is also a day for character building and learning to trust. I know that these are not the words that most want to hear. I mean, come on, let’s say this instead, ‘my God shall supply’, ‘I can do all things’, ‘If God be for me who can be against me’, ‘I shall not want’ and many more….! These scripture references are all true and full of promise and resolve, however, you have to learn how to walk by faith, go through the valley, praise in the fire and pray and not hear God for awhile.

Romans 5:1-5 says it all.

“THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God’s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God. Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. “(Romans 5:1-5, AMP)
