Faithfulness (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Faithfulness                                                                            Day 81

Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Ephesians 6:16

There are types of insurance for almost every aspect of life: home, auto, health, life, flood, fire, pet, etc. In fact, one source identified at least 85 different types of insurance. How great it would be if we had insurance to help us bounce back from our personal struggles? Wouldn't it be nice to have insurance for when we are flooded by temptation or struck by the symptoms of sin? Actually, we do have insurance - faith.

                When our hopes are destroyed, faith in our redeemer restores us. When disappointments or the death of loved ones impede into our lives, faith renews our spirit. When ideas contrary to the Word of God are planted around us, faith can repel lies and implant the truth. While insurance is there in the event that tragedy occurs, faith in God prepares us and stands with us even before tragedy is conceived.

                We do not, however, need to pay a premium for the benefits of faith. Christ paid the price for all. Our faith is free, and the benefits are eternal. Let us not only have faith, but be faithful and utilize the great shield of faith that cannot be penetrated.
