Today, I learned more about sustaining faith in God during the tough stuff life deals out. Wow - what a great message!!! What do you do when life throws a "curve ball"? Well, for me being a part of my local church has been the best thing! It has become part of a solid foundation for me to make good decisions. Here is a great scripture reference from the message I heard today in church... Ephesians 2:8 which states -
"Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we done the whole thing! No, we neither make or save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing".
That just says it all! Thanks to God for that word and to my Pastors for helping me find it!
