living by FAITH
Living by Faith
For this reason,
we never become discouraged.
Even though our physical being is gradually decaying,
yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day.
And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory,
much greater than the trouble.
For we fix our attention,
not on things that are seen,
but on things that are unseen.
What can be seen lasts only for a time,
but what cannot be seen lasts forever.
The scripture says,
"I spoke because I believed."
In the same spirit of faith we also speak because we believe.
God says,
"I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord.
When they call to me,
I will answer them;
when they are in trouble,
I will be with them.
I will reward them with long life;
I will save them."
