Hebrews 12:2 - Looking unto Jesus the author ... of our faith.
Have you ever noticed how prone we humans are to be negative. It is almost as if we were hardwired to believe the worst. We have a pain and think cancer. We hear an odd noise in the car and think the engine is about to blow up. We hear thunder pop and think something has exploded. You get the picture. Our arch enemy, the devil, will spare no expense to make us think things are much worse than they are. It is his job to sow fear, confusion, and doubt into the heart of a child of God. He is constantly looking for a way to cause us to worry.
Jesus, on the other hand, is the author of every good thing in our lives. He fills us with peace, joy, and hope. When we spend time in his word and in prayer we are infused with supernatural strength that gives us courage and makes us bold. We come away from a time of prayer with clarity of mind that often surprises us. We make better decisions after talking to Jesus for just a short while. He hears our prayer and gives guidance when we ask him for it.
Our lives are an open book with a fresh page turned every day. If we give in to worry, fear, and the lot, that days story will be one of misery and gloom. But if we begin the day with God, he will write faith onto the pages of our hearts. No matter what we come in contact with through the day we will have the answer for Jesus always foresees every situation, good or bad. Why not let him write some faith into your heart today? Give Jesus the pen (control) of your life today. Our lives are telling a story and no one can tell a story like Jesus. After all, he is the author (and finisher) of our faith.
