Prevailing Faith

 2 Kings 24; Jeremiah 22; Psalms 112; John 18 

“…Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands…Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, his will have no fear;…”

Psalm 112:1, 6-8

We can either live life controlled by our circumstances and changing environment, or we can influence our circumstances and environment through inner strength and righteousness.

Are we living from the outside-in, or from the inside-out?

Those whose lives become an inner sanctuary of worship, meditation, and communion with God are not afraid of bad news or the events which shake those around them. Their spirit is strong, loving, humble, and full of faith. This inner security is evident in their thoughts, words, and actions. The enemy has no hold on them. The righteousness of Christ in them will endure forever, for longer than the legacy of a company, country, or leader.

Are we living life inside-out, or outside-in?

Do we fear the lord, more than events around us?

The testimony of inner strength in God is seen when we are not shaken, or afraid, but rather, we are steadfast, faith-filled, and secure.

“Lord God, thank you for your strength and presence in me, for your glory.”
