Everything in Your Life is About Faith - Everything! 

Everything in your life is about faith. Everything. The trajectory of your life is determined by the authenticity of your belief in God.

If you genuinely believe right now that God is Sovereign and good and knows what He’s doing, you are not upset with the difficulties of life.

If you are confident that He is the Savior and you have trusted in Him for your salvation, the prospect of eternity does not frighten you but delights you.

If you really believe that God is the Owner of all, you do not balk when He directs you regarding the possessions over which He has made you a steward.

Our version of belief is often a show of mere words. “Oh, yes, I believe in God,” we glibly say, but everything in our actions illustrates our hypocrisy (although we may not even realize it). Our emotions and responses spell out what we really think of God.

God came to Abram promising He would give him children, as many as the stars of the sky. Abram had a choice: to believe what his body and the circumstances told him, or to count God’s character as true. “THEN he believed” (emphasis added). The moment the line of faith was crossed, counting God true, God counted Abram as one who believed. He was right in his faith before God.

God is looking for people who will trust Him. Those who do not are not right with Him. The unbelieving are separated from Him and His work: “He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief” (Matthew 13:58).

You may not realize it, but how you handle your finances, forgive those who’ve hurt you, embrace trials, accept hardship, and deal with your sin are all taking you to the line of faith. Will you cross over? Will you believe in the character of God who is the Provider, Forgiver, Sustainer, Savior?

Someone who questions your character, doubts your motives, or distrusts your purposes gives you the greatest relational backhand. To say they believe you and then act differently behind your back is the worst kind of betrayal, and hard to forget.

Often for us, spiritual unbelief is a whim—a light thing that can be easily tossed about. Not so with God. Unbelief in God is the most heinous sin. It is a slap in the face of the perfect God who made you and for whom you exist. It is the ultimate affront.

Where is the line of faith in your life right now? God is challenging you to believe Him. The great question is always, “What do you really believe about God right now?”
