“Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”

In a day such as ours, we will have to live by faith. Put your faith in the fact that God is the King Eternal, as Paul wrote to Timothy: “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen” (1 Timothy 1:17).
Faith in the King Eternal is the way you’re going to live in this day because faith keeps us going in dark days. Faith sees beyond the physical to the spiritual. Faith sees beyond the present to the future. Faith sees beyond the temporary to the eternal. Faith does not judge by the appearance of the hour.
Don’t lose your faith. Listen to me. Sin cannot win. Faith cannot fail. Faith is the only message that will see us through, and it’s the only force that can change anything. Let me say that again. Faith is the only message that will see us through. It’s the only force that can change anything.
If we want a better land, we have to live better lives. The government cannot make us better; only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can. Decide today: “I will live by the Gospel. I will not lose faith. I will see with the eyes of faith. I will share the Gospel.”
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
